How do deer survive a hot summer?

Deer survive hot summers by seeking shade during the hottest parts of the day and becoming more active during cooler mornings and evenings. They also rely on water sources to stay hydrated and may consume moisture-rich plants to help regulate their body temperature. Additionally, deer shed their thick winter coats, allowing them to stay cooler in the heat. Overall, their behavioral adaptations and physiological changes help them cope with high temperatures.
