Delhi Zoo's Summer Action Plan: Keeping Animals Cool and Comfortable

The Delhi zoo has implemented a 'summer action plan' to help animals cope with rising temperatures. Measures include water pools, air coolers, ice fruit cubes, and shaded areas. The plan ensures various animal species remain comfortable as the mercury soars in the capital city.

With temperatures soaring in Delhi, the zoo has rolled out a comprehensive summer action plan to ensure animal welfare. The initiative includes using air coolers, ice fruit cubes, and water sprinklers to combat the heat.

The zoo's measures are specifically tailored to different species, from tigers and lions to herbivores and reptiles. Enclosures have been equipped with cooling facilities, while special diets are providing hydration and nutrition.

Zoo Director Sanjeev Kumar emphasized the importance of keeping animals comfortable, especially as Delhi recently recorded one of its hottest March days in years. Regular monitoring and care are key to safeguarding the animals' well-being during extreme temperatures.
