As the city sizzles under soaring day time temperatures, the authorities of Indira Gandhi Zoological Park are gearing up with special arrangements to protect the 810 animals of 90 species from the sweltering heat. From putting cool roof paints on night houses to covering enclosures with palmyra leave shades and setting up water sprinklers, the zoo keepers are ensuring that the animals are kept cool and well hydrated. In the aviary section that houses many exotic birds like varieties of macaw and other small birds, the cages are kept cool with khus khus mats and periodical spraying of water.More Related News
