Animals at Toronto Zoo Remain Cool Despite Power Outage Amid Heat Wave
The Toronto Zoo experienced a power outage on Canada Day during a southern Ontario heat wave, leading to its temporary closure to visitors for safety reasons.
The animals at the zoo were not negatively affected because animal-care systems remained operational throughout the incident.
Animal welfare is continuously monitored, and the animals have access to shaded areas, indoor spaces, water, misting stations, fans, and ice treats to help keep them cool.
The zoo worked to restore power and planned to reopen for guests after the outage was resolved.
