Wildlife centers across the Bay Area have been seeing a flood of furry and feathered patients pouring in since last week’s extreme heat wave.
On the ground, a litter of opossums was found in a tire well suffering from heat exhaustion.
"A lot of squirrels come in, a lot of denning animals, too, because it gets really hot underneath where they’re denning," Piazza said."Opossums, skunks, and raccoons, everybody’s trying to beat the heat." Experts said the ongoing drought has made it worse as animals struggle to find water. They said if you find a heat sick or injured animal, never try to care for it yourself. Leave that to the experts.
"We hope that they will just get out there and be wild again, which is a pretty good chance," Hawkins said."If they come in small, we can take care of them and make sure they live a wild life once again."
