Visakhapatnam: With the onset of blistering summers, zoo authorities in Visakhapatnam city of Andhra Pradesh are making special arrangements to provide the animals a comfortable environment.
The Summer heat is unbearable for many animals
The cages are being sprayed with water regularly to keep them cool. While rhinos stayed in water pools due to the rising temperature, many other animals and birds took shelter under shade.
For birds, the cages have been covered with palm leaf mats which help reduce the heat considerably. The authorities are also feeding plenty of liquids and seasonal fruits such as watermelon and pineapple to animals.
Animals are also fed water with glucose and oral rehydration solution to prevent them from dehydration. Special care is being given to older animals of the zoo.
