Staff members at Qingdao Forest Wildlife World have prepared watermelons and fruit ice cubes to help animals keep cool during the ongoing hot weather.
The zoo has also taken a series of measures, including the installation of an automated spraying system and the building of additional outdoor pools to help the animals stay cool in the summer sun.
