(ANSA) - ROMA, 28 GIU - Assistants at Bio Park of Rome help
animals to fight the heat with icicles and showers, Rome, Italy,
28 June 2022. To counteract the effects of Charon, the
zoological staff adopts measures that help the animals to face
the very high temperatures, in particular in the middle of the
day. For Samantha and Boomer, the California sea lion couple,
the guardians throw large fish-filled popsicles into the water.
Icicles stuffed with meat instead for the big cats, while the
group of macaques of Japan has a swimming pool where they bathe
by diving from the trunks, they also receive icicles based on
fresh fruit such as plums, bananas and melons. Fresh fruit
frozen in small quantities for micro monkeys. Refreshing showers
for the Asian elephant Sofia, which also has a large bathtub.
