Animals at Bristol Zoo enjoyed refreshing ice lollies as temperatures soared in the United Kingdom during a heatwave, footage shared by the zoo on July 22 shows.

The zoo said keepers created the treat using some of the animals’ favorite vegetables, including sweet potatoes and peppers, and gave them extra flavor by mixing in fruit teas.
