A heatwave exceeding 30 degrees Celsius is impacting both people and animals across the Czech Republic. Zoos are taking measures to protect vulnerable species, particularly those from colder climates with thick fur. The Ostrava Zoo is providing relief to its animals, including parrots, through the installation of misting showers. These cooling stations are also available for visitors seeking respite from the high temperatures. The zoo’s proactive approach aims to ensure the well-being of both wildlife and the public during the ongoing heatwave. Officials report that even animals typically tolerant of warmer weather benefit from the cooling initiatives.
