Tiger at Phoenix Zoo Beats Triple-Digit Heat With Ice Blocks

Native to tropical climates, Sumatran tigers are made to handle heat. But amid a weeklong run of triple-digit temperatures, even hardy characters like the Phoenix Zoo’s Indah need an ice bath.

In a video posted on September 16, a 109 F day in Phoenix, Arizona, Indah the Sumatran tiger was captured swiping huge blocks of ice into her pool at the Phoenix Zoo. Credit: Phoenix Zoo via Storyful
