Austin (KXAN)-While humans-their pets-can escape air-conditioned comfort, leave the intense heat in Texas wild animals at risk.
“It does not stop in the summer,” said Gul Maroun, CEO of Austin Wildlife Company. “Sometimes we come in the morning and [the phone has] 20 Sound Messenger. “
Vocals are left by the residents concerned about the troubled wildlife. Maroun said that if the animal needs to be rescued, the intense heat makes the timing “very important” during the summer months.
The species have evolved to overcome the harsh weather, but what can you do if you find the weather hit them?
Maroun said: “Place the water near or put it in the shade.” “This is the biggest thing.”
But she confirmed that the animal was not cooled very quickly.
“People can be seduced by throwing ice or palpitations with water hose, but you can inadvertently dump an animal,” Maroun said. “Providing a small dish will be the best thing.”
The water should be lukewarm or cold so that the animal’s body temperature is not changed significantly.
To move the animal to a shaded area, she said to use a broom or dust frying pan so that the disease does not spread through contact. Large mammals can interact with an attempt to help them, so contact the animal rescue service if either party is at risk of infection.
Although you may be seduced, Maron does not recommend feeding the animal. Moisturizing is the maximum priority.

Maroun said that the most dry animals that Austin sees the wildlife that the raccoon “stumble in garbage cans, garbage dumps, or other areas, and then high temperature.”
