EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from June 1976, we witness the scorching heatwave that has engulfed Marwell Zoological Park. Just like everywhere else, the animals are feeling the intense temperatures and seeking relief in any way possible. While some creatures can endure the sweltering conditions, others, like the magnificent Siberian Tiger named Kurtun, must resort to drastic measures to cool down. Kurtun, a majestic seven-year-old Siberian Tiger and proud father of cubs born at Marwell Zoo, finds solace in an unconventional solution – a refreshing bath of cold water. In this snapshot frozen in time by Mirrorpix's lens, we see him sitting calmly with his neck submerged in cooling waters. The image captures both his resilience and vulnerability as he battles against nature's relentless heat. The sight of such a powerful creature humbling itself for respite is truly awe-inspiring. It serves as a reminder that even the mightiest beings can be affected by extreme weather conditions. This photograph not only showcases Kurtun's adaptability but also highlights the dedication of Marwell Zoo towards ensuring their inhabitants' well-being during challenging times. As we delve into this nostalgic piece from the 1970s, it prompts us to reflect on our own relationship with nature and how climate change continues to impact all living beings across our planet.
