Footage has emerged from China of zoo animals relaxing in specially heated rooms built inside their enclosures as it continues to get colder in the south-east of the country.

The video, filmed in Huai'an, Jiangsu Province on Thursday, shows the creatures - including flamingos, parrots and monkeys - inside the rooms which have been specially fitted with heaters.

Footage, from China, of animals living into air-conditioned rooms in cold winter.

In the video, filmed in Huai'an, Jiangsu Province last Thursday, heaters and air-conditioners are installed and opened for animals in the zoo.

Because the temperature was below zero these days and some animals cannot live in such a cold environment.

Zoo keepers opened the air-conditioners to make sure they can live in the requested temperature.
