And finally tonight...With temperatures in Belgium reaching a tropical high on Thursday, one of Europe's oldest animal parks, is giving its animal residents some relief. The Antwerp Zoo offering cold showers, ice lollies and frozen seafood. Bears and sea otters cooled off with their own ice lollipops as the first heat wave of the summer hit Western Europe. Asian elephants are hosed down twice a day by zookeepers. And a lone male sea otter gets extra buckets of ice during the summer and is treated to seafood versions of lollipops several times a week.
