Ultraviolet radiation is often underestimated because it does not feel as obvious as heat. But a high UV index depends on more than air temperature alone.

Social media amplifies this comforting myth with the same captioned claim: “Squirrels will adopt another squirrel baby if its parents die or can’t care for them.” It’s sweet, shareable, and slightly anthropomorphic.
