Animals Cool Off at Sydney Zoo With the Help of Pools and Frozen Treats

Elephants at Taronga Zoo, in Sydney, entertained crowds during the summer heatwave by taking a dip in their pool to cool down.

Video from the zoo shows one of the younger elephants, Jai Dee, submerging his entire body in the cold water, while he was cheered on by watching visitors. The calf was soon joined by his mother, Pak Boon, who dunked her head under the water to escape the heat. The elephants were also treated to a hose shower by one of their zookeepers.
