北马其顿迎来高温天气 长颈鹿享用消暑果蔬

It is very hot in Europe. Temperatures (温度) in North Macedonia are about 40 ºC. Skopje is the capital of North Macedonia. A zoo is there. Caretakers (管理员) at the zoo cool the animals. They cut vegetables. They mix them with water and freeze them. They give the ice blocks to giraffes.

Giraffes Casper and Floppy came to the zoo three years ago. They come from Africa. Hot weather is normal in Africa. Caretakers at the zoo still think that it is a good idea to cool the giraffes.

The temperatures fell a little last week. The weather forecast (预报) says that they will go up again next week.
