## Caption

With sweltering heat still lingering over Southern California, people have started capturing an adorable phenomenon sweeping across the region's squirrel population — splooting.

Also called pancaking, splooting is when a squirrel or animal lies flat on its stomach and spreads its legs to cool down.

According to wildlife experts, there's a more scientific reason behind it. They say that humans should resist leaving out water that might make the critters dependent on people, but that you can still help by giving them plenty of space to sploot and creating shady areas for them to rest.
