A heatwave brought scorching weather to the U.K. last week, with temperatures soaring higher than 30ºC in some parts of the country — and it wasn't just the humans feeling like they were melting.
The nation's pets have been finding cute, ingenious and hilarious ways to stay cool. We're particularly enjoying this photo Neil Harman shared on Twitter, showing his cat sitting in the sink to avoid the hot Plymouth sun.
Here are some other animals who've got us feeling warm and fuzzy inside.
The snow leopard learning to walk.
An adorable snow leopard cub who was born with splayed legs is undergoing intensive physical therapy to help him learn how to walk. This week, Sacramento Zoo in California shared photos of the six-week-old cub taking his first steps using a special harness. Cute!
The giraffes making everyone smile.
Last weekend Twycross Zoo, in Leicestershire, England, celebrated the tallest living terrestrial animals with two days dedicated to giraffes. As well as giraffe-themed games and talks, visitors had the chance to get up close and personal with the mammals during a feeding session. We're very jealous.
