166 -year -old Thiruvananthapuram zoo, one of the oldest in the country, works overtime to protect its pelted and feathered inhabitants from the worst effects of summer summer.
It is located in a busy urban heart in the middle of a 55-acre fresh botanical garden dotted with artificial water points, the zoo is home to various wild animals, including large cats, bears, monkeys, birds, deer and reptiles.
A lot of greenhouse pollution has caused people and animals to be more and more lying for years. Come summer, zoo caregivers reflect rescuers who take care of people who are struggling to run out and dehydration. However, their approach seems to be more preventive.

Ice ice losers
Frozen and fruit ice ice losers, cold showers, water pools, outdoor fog systems, a diet rich in fluid and minerals and continuous monitoring of heat exhaustion, dehydration and other seasonal diseases, including eyes, skin and parasites, helped at some authorities to some extent wild animals.
M. Ramacandran, a tiger caregiver, says large cats are usually aversion to water. However, it seems that the six -year -old female royal Bengal Tigres Babiha enjoys the spray hose down he gets several times a day from his handlers.
“It was extremely hostile and withdrawn when the forest authorities captured it and delivered it to the zoo in 2018. However, over the years, Babitha acclimatized to her new environment and a large wooded cover she considered home,” he said.
Authorities in the zoo introduced lines of water sprinklers in enclosed animal and created an environment of the controlled climate to help the wilderness beat the heat.
Sangeethha Mohan, a curator of the zoo, says she feeds her accusation for another eight kilograms of melons and seasonal fruit ice losers to help them endure summer. During the summer, it also maintains its area of food searching green through constant watering.
Green
The extensive green zoo cover is also beneficial for wildlife. Authorities air conditioned reptile reptiles in which exotic snakes are located.
“Compared to last year, we have extended the period that we spray water using the system system because it consumes less water and helps better climate control,” says PS Manjula Devi, director of the Ministry of Museums and Zoo.
