A colorfully dressed rhesus monkey at a zoo in Qingdao, China, munches on a frozen popsicle to stave off sunstroke on Wednesday. Much of China has been struck by extreme temperatures as a high as 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) this week. Zookeepers in Beijing also used giant blocks of ice to cool off animals and the government doubled a "high temperature" subsidy for workers. Those working outdoors will receive an extra 120 yuan ($18) per month and those working in hot indoor areas will receive an extra 90 yuan.
