<p>Splooting, or just stretching one's body out, is the most effective way that our four-legged friends (or foes) try to beat the heat, even though it may seem unusual to humans. Panda sploots are particularly hilarious, if you've had the chance to witness one.</p>

<p>Just in case you see any squirrels in New York City parks doing the&nbsp;same thing -- lying on their tummies&nbsp;and stretching their back legs out behind them, parks officials want you to know that its absolutely normal.

<p>"It's just fine," NYC Parks tweeted on Monday, along with a photo of a splooting squirrel. "On hot days, squirrels keep cool by splooting (stretching out) on cool surfaces to reduce body heat. It is sometimes referred to as heat dumping."</p>

Squirrels 'sploot' to beat the heat in New York

<p>Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman met Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman on Saturday.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Abhinandan was released from Pakistani custody on Friday night and has since then been kept at the Air Force Central Medical Establishment in Delhi.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Abhinandan was captured by the Pakistanis on February 27 after his MiG 21 Bison was shot down during a dogfight with Pakistani jets; he was however able to shoot down a Pakistani F-16 before that.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The news agency PTI quoted officials as saying Abhinandan is currently undergoing a series of medical tests as part of a "cooling down" process which is expected to continue till Sunday. Once, the health check up is over, the officials said, Abhinandan will be debriefed.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Abhinandan arrived in the national capital around 11:45 PM Friday and soon after was taken to the Air Force Central Medical Establishment (AFCME), a compact and specialised medical evaluation centre for aircrew of all the three services.</p>

<p>Early Saturday morning, Varthaman met immediate family members as well as several top officials of the Indian Air Force, the officials said.</p>
