Israeli Safari Uses Frozen Treats and Pools to Cool Animals During Summer Heat

As the Israeli summer brings intense heat, the safari's care team employs various cooling methods to ensure the health and comfort of the animals. Large predators such as tigers and lions receive frozen meat popsicles, while monkeys enjoy colorful frozen fruit and vegetable treats tailored to their dietary needs. In addition to these frozen food solutions, animals have access to wading pools located in their enclosures for cooling off. The safari also operates misting systems, sprinklers, and water sprays from pipes to lower the ambient temperature and provide a refreshing environment. Some animals prefer natural cooling methods; for example, elephants spend time in mud baths that protect them from the harsh sun and heat. These diverse and creative cooling strategies are adapted to the specific needs of each species to help them cope with the summer temperatures.
