If you ever spot a squirrel spread out on it's belly during a hot summer day, don't panic. It's perfectly normal behavior, according to wildlife experts. The phenomenon in which the rodents lay flat on a cold surface is called "splooting," and you're likely to witness it more and more as an intense heat wave continues to bare down on Texas.
I have several that do this regularly on a birdbath. I saw this little guy outside a convenience store.
