Also from Listener Matt, a deer resting in Harrison Park this summer.

This summer's drought is affecting everyone: from farmers to daily commuters to animals. Especially animals.

On this Wednesday's Central Standard, it's another edition of Nature in the City with Larry Rizzo, natural history biologist, and Joe Werner, biologist and urban ecologist.

Hear how wild animals are coping in the extreme heat. Plus, we'll get an outlook on our natural foods, like nuts and berries.

TELL US:
What wild critters have you seen dealing with the heat? Leave us a comment below, or send an e-mail to centralstandard@kcur.org.
