Chinese farmer treats goats to half a watermelon each as temperatures soar
  • 6 years ago
Dogs aren't the only animals that enjoy snacking on watermelon to beat the summer heat – goats do too, one Chinese farmer in Shaanxi province demonstrates.

According to local media, Mr Wong brings seven goats from the hillside to the city, where he makes and sells fresh goat milk. With especially high temperatures in Xi'an recently, the farmer was afraid the goats would not be used to the hot weather compared to the mountainous climate they reside in, so he decided to give each of them half a watermelon to help them cool down.

This video, taken in Xi'an on July 25, shows the scene at the morning market.
