Jambu Zoo introduces ponds, sprinklers, cooling shelters and hydrating diets to help animals stay safe during Jammu’s summer heat.
As intense summer temperatures grip Jammu, authorities at Jambu Zoo are taking extra steps to protect their animal residents from the heat. Special cooling arrangements, including water ponds, sprinkler systems and temporary thatched shelters, have been introduced across enclosures to create a more comfortable environment.
Zoo officials said fresh water is supplied continuously through dedicated ponds, while jute-covered shade structures are sprayed regularly to lower temperatures naturally. Animals that are adapted to colder climates are receiving additional support through air-conditioned spaces.
