The giant popsicles - made of chopped fruit, nuts, juices and ice - are being served up to European brown bears in Helsinki Zoo, Finland, to help them cope with sizzling temperatures.
And when the beasts have given the lollies a licking, keepers help keep them cool with deep frozen watermelons and pears.
"It's not only polar bears who like to be close to ice. These treats are a great way to top them getting too hot and bring their core temperature down," explained one keeper.
