    It's National Watermelon Day! We think no one's summer is complete without a big, juicy slice of the delicious fruit. Animals are no exception. They seem to enjoy these tasty and refreshing treats as much as we do, maybe even more. Based on these photos, it appears as though the mouthwatering melons are in high demand at zoos all over the world.
