Due to an unusually hot summer in China, zoo authorities have been offering chilled and frozen fruits to monkeys to keep them from getting heat stroke.
{A pair of golden monkeys enjoy iced fruits to prevent sunstroke at the Wuhan Zoo, C. China's Hubei Province on August 14, 2006.}
{Several squirrel monkeys cool themselves off with ice-lolly as record high temperatures hit Hefei Safari Park, E. China's Anhui Province on August 15, 2006.}
{This summer is too hot, thus Jinan Zoo prepared special summer feast of watermelons and peaches for the snub-nosed monkeys in the zoo on July 20.}
Eye protection is recommended.
