Japan is Getting So Hot That a Camel Died of Heatstroke, Zoo Says
Man, I knew I'd written earlier about changing climates and the impact that warmer conditions could have on zoo animals, but this is ridiculous. There's more to the story than just the heat - the camel's age, health, etc - but it does say something when Japan is seeing temperatures over 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Besides the pets and zoo animals, which at least have people looking after them who can constantly provide water and shelter, it makes you worry about the wild animals that have not evolved for such extreme temperatures, and what the long-term implications may be.
