00:00We introduce ice to our Kangaroo Island kangaroos as a form of enrichment something
00:07that they can get some relief from sensory relief from the hot days they especially
00:12love investigating it licking it definitely something to provide them
00:16some cooling effect during these hot days
00:30so kangaroos are unique with their own evaporative cooling system during summertime and how that
00:44works is they'll absolutely saturate their forearms from their elbows to the wrists with
00:49their saliva and as the saliva evaporates throughout the day it cools the many blood
00:53vessels under the surface of the skin and then cools their body temperature down
00:56Meanwhile in Kersbrook South Australia a koala was filmed looking for a bit of shade during
01:05scorching temperatures Adelaide recorded one of its hottest nights ever reaching a minimum
01:11of 34.2 degrees in the early hours of Monday January 26th 2026
