The weather is really hotting up as high temperatures sweep the entire country - and if you're thinking of ways to cool down, there's a couple of animals who may have just the right answer.
The elephants of Chester Zoo have been cooling down today as the region experienced plenty of sunny spells with highs of around 24C.
And just look at how much they are enjoying it!
The team at Chester Zoo said: "Many animals find their own ways of keeping cool when temperatures soar and the sun is shining. Species like warthogs, capybaras and rhinos will often cool off by wallowing in shallow water and mud, while big cats such as Sumatran tigers and jaguars might beat the heat by taking a dip in their pools.
"Sometimes, keepers at the zoo may deliver frozen snacks to the likes of the chimpanzees, red pandas and bears, while animals such as the family herd of Asian elephants receive refreshing showers."
But the exotic animals of Chester may be in for an easier time in the coming days as Met Office Chief Meteorologist, Dan Suri, said: "By the time we get to Saturday, however, North Sea coasts will join much of the rest of eastern UK in seeing temperatures of 27 to 32 Celsius.
"Heatwave thresholds will therefore be met across some parts of the UK later this week and into the weekend."
There's also been lots more good news for the attractions Asian elephants this month.
Two-year-old elephant calf Indali Hi Way has made a miraculous recovery from a virus which killed two of her herd at Chester Zoo.
Elephant endotheliotropic herpesvirus (EEHV) is known to be present in almost all Asian elephants, both in the wild and in zoos worldwide, but only develops into an illness in some elephants and when it does it is almost always fatal.
Her rare recovery has been described as 'a momentous, historic step for Chester Zoo and for global Asian elephant conservation'.
