The high was 103 degrees with a heat index close to 120. But the animals were all fine, thanks to the good care the keepers provide. Cool water, spritzes, sprays, showers, and ice cubes kept the animals comfortable throughout the day.

  • OMG It's Hot. Feel bad for the animals and the caretakers even though they give all they can to make feel comfortable.

  • @Lionboy2011 I really think the humans were suffering much more during the heat wave. In fact, the animals didn't seem to mind it too much at all.

  • can u make a tourof the reptiles i love reptiles

  • @poppyscopper I will compile a video showing an overview of the Reptile House and Amphibian House residents as soon as possible. In the meantime, you can look at my Reptile and Amphibian House playlist. I will send the link to you in a private message because YouTube does not allow links in comments.

  • Very nice. Maybe when I go back to the zoo in the winter, I will film most of the animals in the zoo's Rainforest building. It is always 80 degrees in there. It houses more than 50 different species of animals. There are Bornean orangutans, fishing cats, otters, insects, tamarins, anteaters, and sloths.

  • @velocikiller13 That sounds like a wonderful exhibit area in the Cleveland Zoo. I hope you will be able to visit there again in the winter and record more of your great videos. And it would be very nice to see all the creatures in the Rainforest building.

see all

  • @ZooVisitorMM The building is so diverse and it has an organic feel to it. I really hope that I will be able to go back to the zoo. I can also record Moufasa and Chloe in their exhibit along with the wolves, the seals, and the bears. Speaking of bears, the Cleveland Zoo has two grizzly cubs that have arrived a couple of weeks ago. I never actually saw them, though.

  • God I HATED that heat wave! I went to the pool and the water was like 85 degrees when its usually like 15-20 degrees cooler! glad the animals were safe
