Tigers in the Tiger Kingdom Zoo in Thailand have enjoyed a special ‘ice cream’, frozen chicken and played in the pool to avoid sunstroke.
Patchara Chanted said that about 50 tigers living at the Tiger Kingdom Zoo in Chiang Mai, 700 km north of Bangkok, were fed “ice cream”, frozen chickens, and allowed to swim in swimming pools. on April 1 when the temperature in Thailand started to soar.
“Tigers save energy most of the day by lying down or using as little strength as possible,” said Patchara, the coordinator. But if it gets too hot, they start panting like a dog or a cat to avoid sunstroke.

According to the zoo’s representative, twice a day during the hot summer months, the lions are fed ice-coated chicken. Tiger Kingdom in Chiang Mai is a conservation area nurturing tigers, including rare white tigers. This zoo adopts and takes care of tigers from birth to adulthood. The hot season in Thailand begins in late February, and temperatures are expected to continue to rise higher in the near future.
