As Rome swelters in soaring temperatures, animals at the city's zoo are fed on iced blood pellets, frozen meat, and slices of watermelon, in a bid to help the creatures keep cool.
Animals at the Chester Zoo must have chosen treat over trick, as zookeepers left behind delicious breakfast meals for the critters stowed away in Halloween pumpkins, just in time for the celebration of the upcoming spooky festival. Zookeepers placed the treats in the animal habitats so the curious creatures could find and enjoy. Amongst the lucky animals were the Andean Bears, Red Pandas and Tortoises. The animals had unique reactions to the pumpkins. Whilst the fierce Black Jaguar played with the pumpkin in the water, the snake simply slithered past. The Meerkats however were most curious about the treats, as they crowded around the pumpkin, elbowing each other to find out what was inside This comes as part of Chester Zoo's Enchantment event which lasts right up until Halloween on Monday, the 31st October.
Rome's zoo distributes frozen fruit, meat and fish to animals to help them cope with the high temperatures in the Italian capital. Like much of westen Europe, Italy is in the grip of an earlier than usual heatwave, a phenomenon that scientists warn is likely to become more frequent, owing to climate change.
The animals weren't left out of festivities at Berlin's famous zoo.
