Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Houston Zoo Animals Keep Cool In Texas' Summer Heat

Caption: Houston Zoo’s animals will do anything to stay cool during Texas’ searing summer heat. The Zoo’s dedicated animal care teams are adding frozen summertime treats to the menu. And the animals enjoy a cool water spray that helps them keep comfortable. The coolest spot may be the Zoo’s brand-new Galápagos Islands exhibit - as it is climate controlled to ensure its valuable species live in comfort. Other animals, like Claud the black bear, keep cool by taking a splash in their refreshing pool. Capybara families also love taking a swim. Although they are rodents, capybaras are excellent swimmers as they are a semi-aquatic species who love a dip! They can stay underwater for up to five minutes and their webbed feet help them swim. So whatever species you are - keeping cool in the summer heat is a must!
