Italy is facing a severe heatwave, with temperatures climbing to a sweltering 37 degrees Celsius. To help the animals cope with the intense summer heat, Rome’s Bioparco Zoo has introduced special ice treats and frozen fruit. These refreshing snacks not only keep the animals cool but also ensure they remain safe, active and comfortable during this extreme weather.
