ELEPHANTS at Noah's Ark Zoo Farm have been cooling down with some tasty ice lollies.

The elephants at the zoo, which is located near Clapton-in-Gordano, have been soaking up the sun this week. 

In a video shared on social media, keepers gave the animals elephant-friendly ice lollies, which not only helped them to cool down, but also provided a form of enrichment.

Posting on Twitter, a spokesperson from the zoo farm said: "The elephants have been enjoying some yummy frozen treats to help them keep cool in this hot weather!"

Speaking further about the importance of enrichment, a spokesperson added: "All of our animals including our elephants and birds receive daily enrichment from our dedicated team of keepers.

"Our Elephant enclosure is the biggest in Northern Europe and includes a built in forest (off display area) and lots of enrichment opportunities including barrels, mud wallows and much more.”
