Heat Wave Hurts Wildlife in Oklahoma | Oklahoma City News

Oklahoma’s sweltering heatwave is turning deadly for wildlife — from cliff swallows plummeting from nests to animals desperately searching for water amid record-breaking temps and drought. While you might want to help, experts urge caution: give animals space, call WildCare Oklahoma for guidance, and if you must intervene, aim to return them to the wild. Simple acts like setting out a bird bath or shallow bowls can be lifesaving. Watch how critters adapt — squirrels “sploot,” others seek shade or burrows — as nature fights back against the scorching heat.
