This Panda Has Found An Ice Cold Way To Beat The Heat

It got way too hot in Weiwei the panda’s enclosure, so zookeepers came up with a brilliant idea to help cool him down.

With temperatures reaching a sweltering 97F in Wuhan Zoo, in the Hubei Province of China, the zookeepers made a massive 500 lbs ice block for the bear.

The giant panda promptly started rolling around with the block, periodically pausing for a refreshing lick. Weiwei cuddled the ice cube all day long.

Temperatures reached a sweltering 97F in the Hubei Province of China and it was all a bit much for this panda.

Giant pandas love snow , as this video clearly illustrates:

Moor Hall When is a hotel not a hotel? When it is a restaurant with rooms, obviously. It is a small but important distinction for chef-patron Mark Birchall because, despite the stunning countryside setting, multimillion-pound renovation of a 16th-century manor house and an impeccable refurbishment by interior designer Martin Nealon, Moor Hall is first and foremost about the food. Having honed his skills as the executive chef at Simon Rogan’s L’Enclume for the best part of nine years, Birchall is a modern master of taste, texture, presentation and flavour. So much so that before Moor Hall’s first birthday he had already been gifted four AA rosettes and a Michelin star for his five- (£70) and eight-course (£105) tasting menus. Highlights include an outrageous amuse-bouche of homemade black pudding in a crispy shell; a clever cold and crunchy baked carrot; the stunning Holstein Friesian steak tartare, which borrows from and actually betters L’Enclume’s venison in coal oil; and a sweet and delicate Isle Of Mull scallop with risotto-like grains that together tastes both of the sea and the land.
