00:00 Animals that can get heatstroke are also not safe from the heat.

00:05 That's why in Manila Zoo, the ice blocks were thrown at their pets.

00:09 Marizo Alabduraman was able to spot them.

00:11 Are you already hot from the extreme heat of the weather?

00:17 In Ilocos Norte, where yesterday's heat index reached 42 degrees,

00:22 the pigs and cows are bathed several times to reduce the heat they feel.

00:29 The veterinarian of Manila Zoo said that it's really hard for animals to feel the heat

00:34 compared to humans.

00:37 We can sweat,

00:39 but they can't get heat from sweating.

00:45 That's why the zoo is strict in monitoring animals,

00:49 like the big cats,

00:51 the lion and tiger,

00:52 who are prone to heatstroke.

00:54 Because they are fat, they can't excrete heat.

01:00 This lion is quick to breathe, as if it's breathing.

01:05 It's not normal, but in this weather,

01:08 we expect them to breathe like that,

01:11 because that's where they excrete heat.

01:14 To beat the heat,

01:17 this is what the people of Manila Zoo do,

01:20 it's called misting.

01:22 They mist the lion's area

01:24 so that it can cool down its surroundings.

01:27 They say that they monitor the temperature in their area.

01:32 We give them a time-off.

01:34 We let them in.

01:36 When it's wet, they rest a bit,

01:38 then check the temperature.

01:39 When it's low, they're out.

01:41 And if we get heatstrokes,

01:43 their blocking yellow is their way to cool down.

01:46 Just like this lion,

01:48 who is enjoying the ice.

01:51 They drink water from the pool

01:53 to avoid dehydration.

01:55 According to Dr. Ong,

01:57 some animals don't eat much,

01:59 like the lion and tiger,

02:01 when it's too hot.

02:03 So they give them supplements and electrolytes.

02:05 We caught this ostrich

02:07 with its beak up and its jaw down.

02:09 This is one of the signs

02:11 that the animals are getting hot,

02:13 according to Dr. Ong.

02:15 So we keep sprinkling water in the savannah area.

02:17 Even reptiles,

02:19 they say, are being monitored.

02:21 Because they often have

02:23 respiratory illness when it's hot.

02:25 They're more prone to get heatstrokes

02:27 when it's hot.

02:29 When it's hot,

02:31 and the ventilation humidity is very humid,

02:33 that's their enemy.

02:35 You can see in the oral cavity,

02:37 when there's a heatstroke,

02:39 you can see some heatstrokes.

02:41 When there's a plema,

02:43 you can see it there.

02:45 We can hear if it has a bite.

02:47 We can tell if it has a plema inside.

02:49 Oh, so you can hear it.

02:51 Yes, you can hear it.

02:53 So to avoid getting hot,

02:55 especially now that it's so hot,

02:57 reptiles like this

02:59 like this Burmese python,

03:01 need to be bathed every day.
