As the Israeli summer brings intense heat, the safari's care team implements various innovative cooling solutions tailored to each animal species to ensure their health and comfort. Large predators like tigers and lions receive blood popsicles containing meat chunks to help them cool down. Monkeys enjoy colorful fruit and vegetable popsicles, while many animals benefit from wading and swimming in yard pools.

Additionally, the safari operates sprinklers, misters, and cold water sprays from pipes to lower the ambient temperature and provide a refreshing experience for the animals. Elephants particularly enjoy mud baths as a natural cooling method. These measures demonstrate the safari's commitment to animal welfare during the hot season.

The efforts were documented in video footage shared by the safari's spokesperson, showcasing the animals enjoying these summer adaptations.
