New Yorkers have been worried about "splooting" squirrels. If you don't know, "splooting" is when an animal lays on it's belly with all legs extended outward.
You may have seen your dog or cat "sploot" but due to the intense heat in NYC, squirrels are getting in on the action. The New York City Parks department are telling people not to worry, they're just "heat dumping."
Apparently, they are transferring the heat from their bodies to the cooler surfaces they're "splooting" on. Others replied to the twitter thread with photos of other animals doing the same thing! Photos of cats, dogs and even bears have been uploaded!
But, no need to worry, the squirrels are perfectly OK!
