Central News Agency (Central News Agency, reporter Cai Mengyu, Kaohsiung, July 1) To welcome the arrival of summer vacation, Kaohsiung's Shoushan Zoo is offering free admission for all children under 12 years old from today until August 31. On weekends, the zoo will extend its opening hours until 6:30 PM, with the last ticket sales at 5:30 PM, inviting families to avoid the scorching sun and enjoy a leisurely stroll through the zoo in the evening. The Kaohsiung City Government's Tourism Bureau announced in a press release today that in response to the hot weather, Shoushan Zoo has not only trimmed the thick fur of its alpacas to lower their body temperature but also created special icy treats for the animals. Among them, the Formosan black bear "Bobbie" cools off by placing a ring of ice on its paw, looking quite amusing. The Bengal tiger "Xiao Hong" and the African lion "Xiao Xin" gnaw on ice blocks to beat the heat, while the orangutan "Ah Hong" enjoys a fruit and vegetable ice pop. These different ways of cooling down have allowed visitors to observe animal behavior up close. In addition, the zoo's popular water play area for families features mist sprayers, wading pools, and jungle rain showers. The park provides shower facilities for visitors to rinse off and change. This year's inaugural "Wild Little Warriors" fun obstacle course will be held on the last two weekends of July at Shoushan Zoo. The Neimen Wild Forest Animal School, which began trial operations earlier this year, is also offering a "buy one adult, get one child free" promotion from now until the end of September. Regardless of weekdays or weekends, one adult ticket allows one child under 12 to enter for free. Starting July 15, Neimen Wild Forest Animal School will also collaborate with local businesses in Neimen, Qishan, and Meinong to launch the "Animal Detective Team" sticker collection event, encouraging the public to follow animal clues and visit the mountain towns to explore local culture, cu
