When we were at the zoo a couple of weeks ago, the air conditioning tore up and everyone really freaked out about it.
I had no idea what everyone was so upset about until I realized that they were all running toward the penguin exhibit and the polar bear exhibit.
Apparently, if those animals get overheated then it can really cause them to have health problems. All of the zookeepers were really upset about the fact that the air conditioning system tore up in those two specific exhibits. I had no idea that the air conditioning at the zoo was quite so important but I guess that you have to have well regulated temperature levels when you are dealing with animals from other climates. I was surprised that everyone was so quick to get up to the northern animal habitats, though. They were really concerned, but I think that it’s because it was really hot that day and the weather was heating up more and more as the day went along. I noticed that there were several people on their radios as they ran toward the exhibit. Later on I realized that they were calling the commercial HVAC company that they use for the zoo. Within just a few minutes, there were several commercial HVAC vans speeding up the hill toward the penguin and the polar bear exhibits. I guess the commercial HVAC company makes the zoo their top priority whenever there happens to be an emergency. I think it’s great that they care so much about the animals at the zoo!!
