Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index.

Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
