How Visakhapatnam zoo keeps animals cool as temperatures rise

Water sprinklers are activated across enclosures at the Indira Gandhi Zoological Park, providing moisture to the air. Trees and hills offer shade, while khus mats and thatched roofs help soften the summer glare. Animals retreat to cooler corners of their enclosures as temperatures rise outside the park's gates. The zoo's internal landscape is carefully moderated through water, shade, diet, and routine to maintain a narrow band of comfort for the animals.
