Summer heat at Lee Richardson Zoo prompts cooling measures
Garden City Kansas reports animals coping with dog days as heat rises. A Tragopan incubates its egg while seeking shade and cooling, red panda prefers indoor air conditioning, and a bull elk enjoys sprinklers. Zoo staff provide shade, water, showers, ice treats, and early scheduling to reduce stress. A juvenile giraffe move to Chicago is postponed to fall due to high temperatures.
