Rescued Tigers and Bears Keep Cool During Summer at Texas Animal Sanctuary

Rescued wildlife kept cool throughout the summer at a Texas sanctuary, including former pet tigers Elsa and India, who were found roaming the streets of San Antonio and Houston, respectively.

This video, shared by the Humane Society of the United States, shows Elsa, India, and another rescued pet tiger named Loki playing in water at the Black Beauty Ranch in Murchison, Texas, as well as bears frolicking in pools.

“To protect our nearly 800 residents at Black Beauty from the Texas heat, we provide many options for them to keep cool including big pools, water tubs, sail shades, and big trees to lounge under,” said Black Beauty senior director Noelle Almrud via a Humane Society press release.

Almrud added it was “particularly special” to see India and Elsa spend their first summers at the sanctuary, with the pair “having a blast being energetic young tigers exploring the water and their large habitats.” Credit: The Humane Society of the United States via Storyful
