In the United States, heat waves break out every summer. While people can jump in their pools, go to the beach, hit the lake, or engage in other activities that keep them cool, animals at zoos do not have the luxury of leaving the property to do so.

With another summer heatwave in the forecast, many Southern California residents will be looking for ways to cool off and beat the intense heat. In addition to the beaches, the county has many public cooling center locations to help shield residents from the summer sun.

Temperatures up to 110 degrees are possible in Northern California on Friday as a heat wave brings extremely hot weather to some cities.
