According to the zoo officials, air coolers have also been installed in the cages where these animals are confined at night for feeding. Coolers have been placed in the cages of lions, leopards, tigers, and bears to ensure they do not experience discomfort from the heat even during the night. Approximately six such coolers have been installed across the zoo premises.

Air coolers have also been installed on both sides of the New World monkey enclosures to ensure a regulated temperature, as these animals are somewhat sensitive.
Sprinklers & Shade Arrangements in Bird House
Sprinklers have also been installed in the Bird House located within the zoo. Water is sprayed two to three times a day to help maintain a regulated temperature inside the Bird House, thereby providing the birds with relief from the summer heat and protecting them from heatstroke.

Birds enjoy bathing during the summer, so they are provided with water through sprinklers.
Mud Baths for Sambars & Deer
Furthermore, animals like the Sambar and deer enjoy bathing in mud during the summer months. Consequently, a water body has been constructed within their enclosure, which is kept continuously filled with water.
Water sprinklers for snake house
In the Snake House, water is sprayed two to three times a day to maintain an optimal temperature for species such as the king cobra, common sand boa, cobra, and rat snake. Water bodies have been created within every enclosure, allowing the snakes to enter them to regulate their body temperature as well.
