Mysuru: As the cold season has gripped the city, it is not only the humans that are feeling the chill. Our animal friends at Sri Chamarajendra Zoological Gardens (Mysuru Zoo) are also finding it difficult to survive the biting cold. With mercury levels coming down, the over 1,500 inmates of the Zoo are taking advantage of the cosy conditions inside their tiny enclosure created by the authorities to keep them warm. The Zoo officials have not left any stone unturned to help the animals to brave the winter chill without much discomfort. They have installed room heaters in the enclosures, straw and jute gunny bag seats and have covered the enclosures and cages with sheets of gunny bag and tarpaulin-like materials. The Zoo authorities are also prepared to face a further dip in temperature.
