In recent days, Chongqing has been sunny and hot. In order to keep the animals cool in the summer, the Chongqing Zoo has adopted a variety of "coupes" to prevent the animals from heatstroke.
On July 29, the outdoor temperature in Chongqing was close to 40 degrees Celsius. Giant panda babies sat beside the ice cubes while enjoying the coolness while eating watermelon. Baby panda babies, who were just over a month old, took a nap comfortably in the nursery.
Faced with the hot weather, the brown bear chose to take a bath. An elephant in the elephant hall was enjoying the cold water while flexibly rolling up the fruit with his nose and stuffing it into his mouth.
It is understood that as the temperature rises, zoo staff have also made appropriate adjustments to the diet of animals, increasing the proportion of vegetables and fruits, especially watermelons, grapes and other foods with more moisture.
The breeder also said that when the weather is hot, more seasonal fruits can be added to the animals, but the proportion of these cold drinks should also be controlled to prevent the animals from getting gastrointestinal colds due to eating too cold.
