Summary
When South Carolina’s heat hits, Riverbanks Zoo goes into full cooling mode—sea lions splash in chilly pools, tortoises soak in mud baths, and rhinos lounge on dirt mounds. Behind the scenes, the zoo’s life support crew keeps generators and chillers running, lessons learned from Hurricane Helene. Zookeepers brave the sun with hydration gear and electrolytes, sent home if they show signs of heat exhaustion. And while the animals get pampered, the episode reminds us: our pets need the same care—observe, adapt, and keep them cool.
