Question

Why dogs hang their tounge in summer

Open in App
Solution

Reason: To cool down their body.

Explanation: Average body temperature of dogs in summer is 102 degree Fahrenheit. Dogs don’t have sweat glands all over the body like us. They can’t sweat like humans. The only way they can cool off is by evaporating saliva from the tongue. That takes the heat away from their body
. Hence dogs hang their tounge out to cool down their body.
