How do red kangaroos keep cool during the scorching hot midday hours?

Answer 1

Kangaroos have a network of fine veins just beneath the surface of the skin on their forearms. They lick this area, and the saliva evaporates, cooling down the blood vessels.

Kangaroos are essentially nocturnal, being active during the night time. They are crepuscular, meaning they feed in the early morning, before it is too hot, and in the evening, as the earth cools down.

During the day, they laze around under trees, chewing their cud.

Answer 4

Not all areas of Australia are hot, and those areas which are hot do not stay that way all of the time.

However, kangaroos do have specific behaviours for keeping cool. One of the main ways they keep cool when they are resting is they lick their forearms. In hot weather, kangaroos use saliva to cool down, licking their forearms where there is little muscle tissue and blood veins run close to the surface. When the saliva evaporates from the fur, it cools down the kangaroo.

Also, Kangaroos are more active in the cooler hours of the early morning and the late afternoon. During the heat of the day they are more sedentary, lying around quietly and chewing their cud. They will also dig a shallow depression in the ground, which is cooler than just lying on the surface.
