What in the world is “splooting,” you may wonder. Look at the squirrel. When an animal is very hot and needs to cool down, it “sploots,” or lies down with its back legs stretched way out. It’s been such a hot summer that there is no shortage of splooting at the El Paso Zoo. A little relief from the heat is coming Wednesday, so your forecast is below…
