The Heat is on in Australia.
Temperatures have soared above 40 degrees for the past week, some areas hitting 50 degrees. It is hot and the only way to survive it is to do what this koala is doing and sleep it out. For some though a splash of water is needed The heat saps all your energy till there is none left and you feel completely wrung out. Even the animals are struggling to cope. We at least have air conditioning in our homes but our animals are at the mercy of the weather no matter waht it brings from freezing cold in Winter to extremely hot in Summer.
Some animals find ways to deal with the heat others will just lay down and die. It was reported that a mob of wild horses in the Northern Territory have died from heat exhaustion and dehydration in a dry river bed . You can read the news article posted in the Guardian here

Kangaroos have been splashing in the water troughs to try to cool off.
In my garrden a koala fell from high up in a gum tree from heat and dehydration. I tried to revive him with some cool water but it was too late, sadly he died.
This little koala in an animal park is being refreshed in a tub of water.
We all have to find ways of dealing with the extreme temperatures. For me, I keep the air conditioning on and watch a good movie on Netflix.
I hope if it is hot where you are that you are able to stay cool and conversely if it is the opposite extreme that you are able to stay warm. We have to be adaptable to all kinds of conditions. Lets just give thanks that we can, with all the modern aids we have and spare a thought for those not so well equipped to handle the intense heat or bitter cold.
