Look around habitats at the Birmingham Zoo and you'll see misting fans and shady trees.
Animals from cooler climates even get air conditioning.
The flamingos don't mind the heat prancing around their pond, squawking as usual.
While the elephants dip their trunks into a mud pit and sling water on themselves.
Zoo CEO Chris Pfefferkorn says some animals have doors in their habitats that allow them to move inside.
But it's up to them.
And just as animals enjoy sweet treats when it's hot, staff give animals frozen fruit and ice to help them stay cool.
For NPR News, I'm Lauren Linehan in Birmingham, Alabama.
