The dietary plans of the animals have been adjusted to match the season, with special attention given to the tiger and lion cubs, some of whom are experiencing the sweltering heat for the first time.

Senior veterinary doctor Arvind Mathur said that fruit ice cream has been introduced into the animals' diets. The sloth bears are being provided with 'sattu' (protein-rich flour), honey and special fruit ice cream, while deer and hippopotamuses are being served watermelon and cucumber, Dr Mathur said.
