    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Staff at the Palm Beach Zoo & Conservation Society use a variety of techniques to keep their animals cool.

    Zookeepers throw large piles of ice into the black bear enclosure for the animals to wallow in, chilling their pool to 74 F (23 C).

    The otters get ice blocks and frozen fish tossed into their water for playing and eating.

    Giant tortoises, native to the islands of the Indian Ocean, enjoy cool showers from a hose, which they can feel through their shells.

    The zoo’s guests love to watch the animals cool down and children press their faces up against the glass for a better look, Terrell said.

    Associated Press writer Terry Spencer in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, contributed to this report.
