Animals chill out in Wroclaw Zoo in Poland's cold snap (ITN News, UK)

Humans may be struggling to keep warm in the winter weather but the freezing temperatures are proving a treat for some animals.
The Siberian tigers at Wroclaw Zoo in Poland are making the most of the cold snap.

Even the South African Fur seals, who are used to sunnier temperatures, have been enjoying a refreshing dip in the winter sunshine.

Bizarrely it seems the reindeer are finding it hardest to adapt.
Despite their festive image, harsh winters can prove deadly for the creatures.
Thick layers of ice often make it difficult for them to forage for food.
