The bears, lemurs and other animals at the Museum of Life and Science in Durham cooled off with a summer treat on Monday.

During Watermelon Day, they pawed at and pounded through dozens of the juicy melons. The museum uses the day as a way to talk to visitors about how they care for the animals during the hot summer days and keep them busy.
