The rates of caps and scarfs too have gone up seeing the increasing demand.

However, just like us human beings, the animals, (tamed and caged) too feel the brunt of the heat. The administration of the Maharajbagh Zoo has already installed coolers for the big cats (Lions, Tigers, Leopard), Bear, Hyena and other wild-animals.

Some Avian enthusiasts of the city have made bird baths and nests near their houses so that birds can cool themselves and have a drink. Some of these intelligent and thirsty birds know the use of water tap and hover around it for a sip or two of cool water.

Cows and cattle reared for the milk are left astray by the owners to fend for themselves. The cattle are seen chewing the cud under some tree.
