‍The human beings could easily get exhausted on a hot summer day, so do the animals. But just like us, the animals have their own way of cooling off from heat as well.

Many zoos across China have released groups of photos, giving a glimpse of how their inhabitants spend the summer days.

A giant panda in Nanjing Hongshan Forest Zoo was captured by camera taking a nap in its room equipped with air conditioner. Some even lie down on a piece of ice, like the one at Suzhou Taihu Lake National Wetland Park.

A monkey was seen swimming in the pool carrying its cub, while a group of ring-tailed lemurs have their fair share of ice creams in Qingdao Forest Wildlife World.

An elephant was spraying dust on itself, as sunscreen cream, while the kangaroos lying languidly in the tree shadows.

It seems that the heat waves have not prevented them from enjoying their life at all.
