Portland was under excessive heat warnings throughout the first week of August.
The National Weather Service predicted temperatures would exceed 109 degrees Fahrenheit on August 1, while temperatures reached a high of 105 degrees on August 3.
However, the extreme heat did not stop the animals from having a good time.
Video posted by the Oregon Zoo shows their male Asian elephant Samudra and polar bear Nora making a splash, while southern sea otter Eddie cooled off by munching on some ice chips.
