The way white-tail deer deal with this extreme heat, is they find shade and decrease movement in the heat of the day. They do not have sweat glands. The term for being most active at dawn and dusk is crepuscular.

Exploring Armand Bayou, 4-H leaders take on an adventure packed with wildlife and conservation insights.
We took 15 4-H leaders on a guided kayak tour of ABNC’s bayou! It was warm, but we had fun seeing all sorts of wildlife. Did you know: during droughts, our normally brackish water can get just as salty as Galveston bay! This actually helps get rid of invasive species like tilapia and water hyacinth.
