When the thermometer reads around 36 degrees, the animals in Rome Zoo also enjoy an icy refreshment. The most important are tigers, monkeys and coatis. The varieties depend entirely on your individual taste.
In our Italian neighbours, the heat is currently scorching. Of course, the animal world is also suffering from this. That is why the staff of the zoo in Rome has changed the menu, the daily newspaper ‘Il Messaggero’ reported on Friday. There are ice cubes with fruit, fish or meat, depending on the needs of different species.
Anyone who visits the park today can see emperor tamarins, among the smallest monkeys in the world, eagerly licking fruit ice cream. Fruit ice cream cones were served to lemurs, and tigers were given frozen meat. The zoo in the city park of Villa Borghese is home to 1,200 animals, including reptiles, mammals and birds.
In the summer, the Biopark nutritionists prescribe a diet with smaller portions for all carnivores than in the winter. For the monkeys’ ice cream sundaes, grapes, mangoes and bananas are frozen in orange juice. The Asian elephant Sofia is showered regularly and splashes in the puddle of water in her enclosure.
