As temperatures remain high in the capital, ZSL London Zoo’s Critically Endangered Western lowland gorilla troup cooled off with giant ice-lollies made of frozen fruit tea and sunflower seeds.

Females Effie, Zaire and youngsters Alika and Gernot all enjoyed the cooling treats in their Gorilla Kingdom home at ZSL London Zoo.
