The rising mercury levels have activated the summer management plan at the Mysuru zoo with the authorities coming up with plans of keeping the animals cool and protected from the heat. A shower is keeping the elephants cool and water sprinklers are helping giraffes beat the scorching heat. Ice creams and seasonal fruits including water melon, musk melon and grapes, soya bean milk and cucumbers are keeping chimpanzees calm and energised. “This summer, we have taken all necessary precautions to keep the animals cool and fit, helping them beat the heat,” said Zoo Director Ajit Kulkarni.
