Icy water doesn't seem to bother these flamingos, but other animals aren't so tolerant. And today, while visiting the Rio Grande Zoo, you may have run into more than *** few of these signs. That's because zoo officials are doing everything they can to accommodate each animal. Most of the animals have barns or inside heated areas. We have certain procedures that we go through depending on the weather of the day, different temperatures and that kind of thing. Heat lamps are provided for some of the birds. Here you see *** bald eagle under the lamp. Polar bears need no special accommodations. In fact, they love this weather and from the looks of it they enjoy playing in the cold water. But for the elephants it's *** different story. This is where they would normally be. Well, the first thing is if they were outside, we would come and feel their ears. Because you can tell that this is real thin and you'll be able to determine how they are. We're also told Irene and Donna, the elephants let their zookeeper know they're cold by lingering around the door. How smart is that? Jean Rodriguez, Action 7 News. Good Morning, New Mexico.
