Man’s so-called climate change can have an impact on our fellow creatures. While most wild animals, and in fact, most domestic animals, do not have the mental or physical tools to create methods or equipment that will keep them warm or cool, they do have ways of adapting that might surprise “intelligent” humans, who sometimes don’t know when to come out of the rain.
Penny Spiller, reporting for BBC News tells of several furry and not so furry animals that have managed to cope rather well. Ms. Spiller reports on several surprising and unconventional methods that our “dumb” friends have recently used to combat the effects of cold temperatures brought on by masses of frigid aid and other severely cold additions to climates around the earth.
She starts with this:
An inland waterway close to the Riviera Power Plant in Florida found itself hosting a large number of unusual guests in recent days, as temperatures fell close to freezing.
Nearly 400 manatees moved from the cooling coastal waters to enjoy the 33C (92F) temperatures being discharged from the plant. Giant eagle rays and spinner sharks were also spotted in another Florida canal.
