National Zoological Park in Delhi installs watercoolers and mini water pools for its inmates

Animals have to, like their human counterparts, beat the summer heat of Delhi and, therefore, the Delhi Zoo has installed giant coolers and mini water pools apart from adding electrolytes in drinking water and providing loads of cooling fruit like cucumber and water melons to its inmates. The objective is to ensure that the scorching summer heat does not hit its animals.
This has been reported in news18.com dated 21 April 2016.

As an authority of the National Zoological Park has indicated - in view of the intense heat this year special arrangements have been made for over 60 species of birds and beasts it houses. Generally the preparations for summer begin on April 23 every year, but this year, due to the excess, the process has been started three weeks in advance.
The arrangements include mini water pools for animals apart from giant coolers that will work round the clock in the enclosures. There will also be adequate provision of water to avid dehydration of the animals.
The zoo sees footfalls of around 5,000-7,000 on weekdays and between 10,000-12,000 during weekends.
