As temperatures soared to record highs in Shanghai this week, local zoos turned into coolness innovation hubs to protect their furry and feathered residents. From mist-sprayed flamingos to air-conditioned panda palaces, here’s how animals are surviving the heatwave in style! 🌡️🐾
Flamingos Get the VIP Treatment
Shanghai Zoo’s pink stars enjoyed refreshing mist sprays – think of it as their personal outdoor spa day. Meanwhile, elephants channeled their inner influencers by splashing in ponds, while red pandas nibbled on giant ice pops (fruit-flavored, obviously). 🦩❄️
Pandas Chill in Style
The zoo’s giant pandas upgraded to climate-controlled lounges with extra bamboo snacks – basically the panda version of binge-watching Netflix in AC. Staff even gave some animals trendy summer haircuts! ✂️🐻
Marine Life Joins the Cool Club
Over at Haichang Ocean Park, dolphins played hockey with ice cubes while thermostatic systems kept pools perfectly crisp. Even the fish got upgraded menus with frozen fruit platters – because who doesn’t love a chilly snack? 🐬🍉
Zookeepers told NewspaperAmigo they’ve also revamped animal diets with hydrating fruits and veggies. Pro tip from the experts: This heatwave prep could teach us all a thing or two about summer survival! 💡🌿
