25 times pets from around the world beat the summer heat in clever and cute ways
Summer can be as hard on animals as it is on humans. But some clever balls of fur have found creative ways to stay cool in the heat.
In the past few years, global warming has had a significant impact on climate change. Many countries in the Northern Hemisphere have had to endure extreme heat waves, making people and animals sick. While humans can hide in their homes, turn on the air conditioner, or take a refreshing sip of their favorite cold beverage, animals don’t have many options to escape the heat. While household pets may be getting some relief thanks to their owners, animals in the wild have struggled to survive the heatwave in recent years. However, some have found innovative ways to beat the heat, with and without the help of humans.
We’ve collected a collection of pictures from the internet where you can see our furry friends trying to survive the extreme heat in clever and cute ways, from licking ice cubes to jumping into strangers’ showers.
