Summary
It's not just us humans who say, Extreme heat is also a challenge for many animals – sometimes with dramatic consequences. Almost all animals suffer from high temperatures. When designing gardens and cities, the following applies: “We need more evaporation areas, more trees, more water areas.” Straka also calls for keeping an eye on affected animals: “If quarters are known, they should be checked regularly from the outside in order to find heat-stressed or weakened animals at an early stage and, if necessary, bring them to suitable wildlife care stations.” © dpa-infocom, dpa:260731-930-463971/1. This can ultimately become a danger for people besides the heat itself. Some animals have their own strategies to get a little cooling: “A big difference to us humans: We humans sweat – with fur and feathers and without sweat glands does not work.”.
Furthermore, They seek out cool places and water points, try to use as little energy as possible and move activities into the night or early morning, says Inga Olfen from the German Wildlife Foundation. Extreme heat can also be problematic in bats, explains Tanja Straka, expert in natural spaces and wildlife management at the Hochschule Weihenstephan-Triesdorf. Above all, the earthworms go deeper into the earth – their main source of food, which they then no longer find. The fight for scarcer water in heat periods can also have unwanted side effects, according to Haase.
In addition, Attics, where bats give birth, heated up strongly, there are hardly any cooler retreats. They have problems when the soil becomes too dry and hard. Many animals in the wild also suffer from extreme heat – some have curious tricks.
