Elephants at Reid Park Zoo in Arizona have taken to their pool to splash about and cool off in the summer heat.
A video posted by zookeepers show the animals dipping their heads under and enjoying the water.
Posting the video on Facebook, the zoo said: “With temperatures climbing to 106 degrees today, the elephant herd took some time to cool off and have fun in the pool.”
The zoo has four elephants which roam in a seven-acre enclosure with a 90,000-gallon pool.
Temperatures have soared to around 107F (42C) in Arizona this week, meaning the elephants are taking well-deserved dips to keep cool.
