Elephants at Whipsnade Zoo cooled themselves in this hot summer weather by frolicking in 20 tonnes of real snow donated by Snow Centre in Hemel Hempstead.

Assistant curator of elephants, Lee Sambrook, said: “We’re always looking for new ways to keep our elephants cool in this heat, and the youngsters especially love having new things to investigate so we’re expecting them to love their snowy surprise”.
