In summer, Tokyo often experiences day after day of very hot and humid weather that impacts all living creatures. Some photos posted on Twitter captured this as some squirrels were spotted lying flat on the ground in a park during a recent heat wave. This unusual posture of these adorable animals became a popular topic online all over the world.

Inokashira Park in Tokyo is the home of many small squirrels and when the temperature and humidity becomes too high, many of them will lie flat on their stomachs on the ground as a way to deal with the heat. Are they okay? It looks like squirrels are in a serious condition since they are always happy and active on most days. Perhaps, it is like many animals in Africa who often relax and lie around during the hottest part of the day.
リスの身を案じて下さる方も多いので補足しますと「虫の息」というわけではなく、地面に体を密着させて放熱させているようです。
暑さにメゲず、元気に走り回っているコたちもいっぱいいました。
リスにも暑さに弱いヤツと強いヤツとがいるようで・・・w

Not all squirrels are lying around motionless to beat the heat as there were some squirrels seen running around cheerfully as shown in the photo below.

I think most people enjoy watching squirrels running around and up and down trees searching for nuts to eat or store for the winter. People prefer the appearance of a healthy squirrel which is why the image of squirrels lying around is so strange and unusual!
