[FfFfFfFF 58,358]

With high temperatures and humidity, un-bear-able heatwaves are felt in the Gaziantep Zoo in the eponymous southern Turkish province.

As a result, the zoo staff is taking some precautions in order to protect its residents. Icy meat cocktails are prepared for predatory animals like tigers, lions, leopards, pumas, and jaguars to cool them off.

For animals, like bears and elephants, icy fruity cocktails, made from watermelon, apple, orange, kiwi, strawberry, banana, and grape, are made. Also, animals are wetted by a hose in the afternoon.

“There are pools for animals. On top of that, we are feeding them fruit and vegetables to keep them cooler. Lions, tigers, leopards and jaguars are given meat cocktails” the head of the Department of Preserving Natural Life of Metropolitan Municipality.

so cute! one thing about Turkey is I always see them taking care of their animals. Even street animals are world renown to be treated well in Turkey. I hope that culture continues there and spreads in many countries too
