DALLAS — This summer has been all but unbearable for the people of North Texas — but what about the animals at the Dallas Zoo?
North Texas saw its first 100-degree day in mid-June, and the heat has been unrelenting since then. All but four days in July reached 100 degrees, with heat indices frequently topping 105.
The record-breaking heat has been responsible for grass fires, unprecedented electricity demand and threats to residents’ health. But it also takes a toll on animals who call the zoo home.
