Sploot happens…

Ah, the sploot. Wait, what? A sploot is when an animal sprawls out, usually face down, with arms and legs spread out to the four winds. Why the sploot? Why not? 

Well, a sploot is great for an all-body stretch. It can also be a comfortable position that may help lower body temperature when sprawled out on a cool surface. Either way, it’s a splooty mcsploot masterclass in flexibility and split-legged lounging. May the sploot be with you. 

Images: Sploots on parade. Bears, squirrels, a turtle, and a marmot show off their flexibility in various sploots.
