Can't be loved because it's too hot

Hot, dry summers are making it difficult for animals and plants in the American island of Antelope, Salt Lake, to prevent them from reproducing.

"Drought has a big impact on this island," said Crystal Carpenter, the park's naturalist.

The lack of water is especially difficult for bison, large antelope, wild sheep, stag and coyotes that live here."The reproductive rate of large antelope and male deer is really impaired. They cannot float in this condition. I just saw a baby antelope this year."

Heat also affects the blooming season in spring. As a result, the main food source for many herbivores has been exhausted, and some have even eaten shrubs."Many animals depend on shrubs to survive the winter, but now that they have eaten, other shrubs die, making the situation on the island quite dangerous."

If the sky continues to be hot as it is today, the park will have to use water to supplement or sell some animals on the island.

This year is considered the third warmest year in this region's history since 1928.
