Making the Summer Bearable in the Zoo 



Polar bears suffer even more 

 than their brown brothers from 

 the summer heat. The keepers 

 of the Bronx Park "Zoo," in 

 New York city, spray the ani- 

 mals daily. The bears will pose 

 like statues on a ledge of rock 

 while the hose is played on them. 

 The cubs are given ice water to 

 drink through nursing bottles
