Wednesday Zen Moment: Elephant pool party keeps things cool at Dublin Zoo

What’s summer without a dip in the pool?

For this group of Asian elephants at the Dublin Zoo, it really is everything.

Especially as temperatures soar near 30C in the Irish capital.

Pool party!

The animal care team have constructed a new wallow for the Asian elephant herd and of course, the calves were the first to venture in 🤗

The calves were the first to test the water.
