Dietary adjustments include providing water-rich fruits like watermelon and muskmelon, fruit ice cubes for primates, and reducing meat portions for carnivores. Cooling methods such as regular showers, sprinklers, and installed coolers in shelters are used, along with modified enclosure timings. These seasonal practices aim to maintain hydration, prevent overheating, and ensure animal well-being during high temperatures.
