“Especially on some very hot days in summer, there are some animal species here that cope very, very well with the heat and also enjoy and like it, like giraffes, for example, or camels, in other words all animals that are used to these temperatures by nature. But there are also others that are particularly happy about surprises. Sometimes there are ice bombs, for example, where the normal food, vegetables or fish are simply frozen in ice, like a ball or a thick piece of ice, which is also a great activity for the animals because they have to work it out. In other words, they are busy chewing on it or knocking it against something and puzzling it out a bit, the food. And that’s a nice change of pace, of course, but it’s also a really great activity.”

STORYLINE:
Zookeepers at Berlin Zoo on Monday gave elephantine residents refreshing showers to cope with soaring temperatures, as a Europe-wide extreme heatwave slowly reached Germany.
Elephant Pang Pha and her daughter Anchali enjoyed water being splashed on them by a zookeeper using a hose.
Three bear brothers enjoyed a bucket of frozen fruits each, while two otters got little ice blocks with fish and mice inside.
In southern Germany, temperatures of up to 35 degrees Celsius (95 Fahrenheit) were expected on Monday, and they were forecast to creep higher until midweek – going as high as 39 degrees (102F) on Wednesday.
Some German towns and regions imposed limits on how much water can be taken from rivers and lakes.
