As summer gets into full swing, animals of all shapes and sizes at Werribee Open Range Zoo like to keep cool and carry on.

Aside from always having access to shade and hydration, zookeepers make sure all animals stay extra comfortable by offering nutritionally-dense icy treats and specially-created mud wallows.
