Young Red Squirrel Sploots Flat on Hot Day

Occurred on August 16, 2020 / Marquette, Michigan, USA

Info from Licensor: Young red squirrel patrolling his favorite area to lounge on hot lazy days and spatting with nearby siblings attempting to do the same. They'll generally lay about with heads or tails still up in the air and spread out to relax on the deck throughout the warmest months. But when it's really hot out there they sploot as flat as a pancake to dissipate body heat onto another surface...and occasionally the squirrels more bonded with me will just spread out right on my lap like a tiny furnace lol.
