Even in soft skin targets, Ive noticed steam rising. Red mist a ground
squirrel with a 22-250, and you may notice some of the released heat
rising as steam.

Is that "steam" or just the rising 'warm air' heated by the exposed
internal parts of the squirrel; where his former body core (and higher
temps) are now exposed to the air and cooling?

Even on a warm day, some steam can be noted. Its the result of the
kinetic energy dump....velocity to friction I believe.

Could be either way and a bit of both, would depend on conditions,
etc...

them self determination under "play nice" rules.
