Shanghai Zoo has stepped up its efforts to protect its animals from a sweltering heatwave. Flamingos were kept cool with mist sprays, elephants splashed in ponds, red pandas received chunks of ice, and giant pandas enjoyed food in air-conditioned rooms. Staff also trimmed the animals' fur and updated their diets, adding more juicy fruits and vegetables for primates and herbivores.

At Haichang Ocean Park, dolphins were given ice cubes, thermostatic systems kept pools cool, and marine animals were served frozen fruit.
