Iced lollies for Benidorm's 'hot' safari park animals
Wednesday, August 12, 2015 @ 9:34 PM
ANIMALS at Benidorm's Terra Natura safari park are being given ice lollies every day to combat the heat.
Over 50 kilos of in-season fruit are used every month and ices are tailored to different species of animal.
Watermelon, honeydew melon and plums are the most likely to be found at present, although they are blended with others easy to find fresh, together with a mix of juice and seeds, and then turned into ice poles, 'kebabs' or, in the case of very large animals such as rhinos and elephants, huge blocks.
For carnivorous animals like lions and tigers, ice is mixed with chicken and fish.
Practically every species gets to try them at least every other day.
