It’s so hot in Cornwall this week that an octopus is being given ice lollipops to cool her down.
Sassy, a two-metre long giant Pacific octopus is sucking onto massive ice blocks that contain her favourite treats.
Staff at the Blue Reef Aquarium in Newquay say the lollies are shaped like - and taste like - crabs, mackerel and sand-eel.
They reckon the lollies will encourage her work harder for her food too.
