24-hour rain in giraffe's Changsha zoo home
The zoo in Changsha, Hunan province's capital, has built an artificial precipitation facility on the roof of the giraffe's home to produce rain 24 hours a day.
The move aims to bring about a cooling effect inside the giraffe's enclosure, where temperatures have soared up to 60 C owing to the current heat wave.
