Here are some adorable pictures of the animal residents of Tayto Park Zoo keeping cool as the country sizzles in 26C weather.
Animals at the popular Ashbourne theme park and zoo enjoyed cool treats of frozen fresh fruit and fruit skewers.
Fruits are a great way for animals to absorb extra water and keep them hydrated during this warm spell of weather.
This season, visitors to the Tayto Park zoo, can get close and personal with the latest arrivals at ‘Lemur Woods’, Ireland’s largest lemur walkthrough, the home to 15 ring tailed lemurs.
The zoo is home to a variety of animals, including big-cats, meerkats, birds of prey and not to forget the farmyard friends at the parks petting area making it the ideal family day out!
