In response to the intensifying heat wave gripping the region, the administration of Peshawar Zoo: has swiftly taken action to shield its diverse array of captive animals, birds, and reptiles from the adverse effects of the scorching weather.

Recognizing the vulnerability of animals to extreme climatic conditions, Niaz Muhammad, Director of Peshawar Zoo, revealed that comprehensive strategies have been devised to ensure the safety and well-being of all species residing within the zoo premises.

“To combat the rising temperatures, the zoo authorities have implemented various cooling measures aimed at alleviating the impact of the heat on our animal residents,” stated Niaz. Among the initiatives undertaken, regular sprinkling of water within animal enclosures has been organized to provide relief from the heat.

Furthermore, advanced cooling systems, including air coolers and mist fans, have been installed in enclosures housing big cats, ensuring a conducive environment for animals like lions. In addition to physical cooling methods, the administration has introduced anti-stress medications, such as vitamin C and glucose, into the drinking water of wild animals, bolstering their resilience against heat-related stressors.

Maintaining a vigilant stance, zoo staff conducts frequent checks on water sources to ensure a continuous supply of fresh water for the animals.
