Zoo Animals Stay Cool in Heatwave | Virginia Beach News

When Hampton Roads swelters under record-breaking heat, the Virginia Zoo in Norfolk is going all out to keep its furry, scaly, and feathered residents cool — and visitors too. Zookeepers are opening shaded indoor spaces, dishing out frozen treats, setting up sprinklers, and even letting some animals lounge on ice piles. Each species gets customized cooling, from big cats to smaller mammals. And for you, the humans? Bring your own water, grab icy drinks at food spots, and splash in the fountains — because staying cool is a team effort, whether you’ve got four legs or two.
