☀️ How do the animals at the Detroit Zoo beat the heat? Press play. 👇 Muddy wallows for the rhinos. Pools, sprinklers and misters. Shady retreats. And yes, those piles of ice the sea otters can't get enough of. 🧊 But the part you can't see on screen is the why. Every bit of this is intentional, guided by a dedicated animal care team, whose work shapes how each habitat is designed and how care is adjusted when the temperature climbs. Throughout the day, staff monitor the animals and adapt, so each one stays comfortable. Visiting during the heat? Take a cue from the animals: bring a refillable water bottle, find a mister, and duck into the shade or an air-conditioned space. Stay cool out there. ☀️ #DetroitZoo #AnimalCare #Heatwave #StayCool
