Mexico's heat wave and drought prompt non-governmental groups and government to rescue and cool animals.

Mexico's heat wave and drought have led to non-governmental groups rescuing monkeys with heatstroke and providing air-conditioning to suffering birds. The government has focused on cooling down animals at state-run zoos, offering frozen meat popsicles to lions and owls. A heat dome, causing extensive sunshine and high temperatures, has impacted wildlife, with central and southern Mexico feeling the brunt of the extreme conditions.
