Keepers at Prague Zoo used tons of ice on Thursday, July 30, 2026, to give its animals some much-needed relief as yet another heat wave hit Europe. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Associated Press.
Polar bears Aleut and Gregor wasted no time and were rolling on the ice piles to cool down. Zoo staff regularly bring ice to help animals cope with hot weather. This measure is especially important for polar bears, which are adapted to cold climates.
