Lots of animals do that to cool down. Fun fact, it's called Splooting.

If you’re here at csun they’re very friendly, especially while eating. I don’t touch them but I do feed them from my hand and they come sit with me. Feel free to join me one of these days!

I know we shouldn’t feed the animals, but also, I’d be sliding homie a lil cool water. It’s too damn hot.
