Phew, it’s mighty hot doing nothing all day!

As the mercury continues to rise across Oxfordshire, these little furry fellas get an ice-cold treat courtesy of their keepers at Cotswold Wildlife Park.

Curators at the attraction in Burford, west Oxfordshire, have been giving Meercats and Squirrel Monkeys refreshing fruit ice blocks which, needless to say, don’t last very long.

Curator Jamie Craig said: “We give them ice pops, which are basically chunks of fruit in ice. “The penguins are hosed down frequently during the hot weather and we keep their water temperature cool.”
