As the summer heat strikes Europe and Asia, animals in Turkey's Konya Zoo need some extra care to keep cool. Zookeepers have prepared frozen fruit cocktails and cold baths for bears and alpacas to beat the heat. Check out these cute moments as these animals chill out away from the summer sun.

At Al Zawra Zoo in Baghdad, Iraq, tigers and bears also avoided the soaring heat by taking a dip in cool water pools.
