The Phoenix Zoo is not forgetting about our furry friends in this dangerous heat! We got a look behind the scenes at how the zoo keeps all the different animals there cool in the triple-digit heat.
PHOENIX — Phoenix Zoo team members show the ABC15 crew a behind-the-scenes experience of what their team does to provide animals some relief from the triple digits in the Valley.Meet Chutti, the greater one-horned rhinoceros, that loves water and stays cool by being in his pool. The 8-year-old from San Diego receives a shower every day.According to the Phoenix Zoo, Indu gets a shower every single day, but doesn’t really enjoy them unless it’s “scorching hot.” She prefers a nice, shaded area.
Much like us, these cats enjoy frozen treats, but theirs are specially created with their own diet that includes blood and meat. The cheetahs have misters in their exhibit, so they can go lay under them if they want. And these cats will seek shade to keep cool. “These guys get an assortment of Toronto Meat — it’s the kind of meat that we get for our carnivores at the zoo and they also get chuck meat, and the blood is actually from their diet,” said Merola on the tour. “The cool treat…. cool them down a little bit, keeps their tongue nice and wet, also kind of helps them stay hydrated. That’s something that we want to watch for especially as the temperatures climb. We want to make sure our animals are getting as much hydration as they can.
According to Anne Seifert, Phoenix Zoo staff, the treats that these monkeys get during the summer include frozen grapes and biscuits [new world prime meat] soaked in Crystal Light.
