Animals cooling down this summer SMART READER July 27, 2019 17
A New Jersey woman who looked out at her pool during the recent heat spotted an unusual visitor taking a swim
— a raccoon. Lauren Liedel said she spotted the trash panda cooling off from the extreme heat in the backyard
pool at her Maple Shade home on a recent Sunday night. She said the raccoon spent a couple minutes swimming
leisurely in the pool. Liedel said the raccoon climbed out of the pool on its own and scampered away.
A Long Island family had an even more surprising moment Sunday evening when they discovered a baby alligator
swimming in their backyard pool.The reptile was safely captured and the family said they are trying to find it a new
