The weather being 22 degrees in January caused severe stress in some animals captive in the Antalya Zoo. The bear family and tortoises, which started hibernation preparations in December in previous years, live under extreme stress because they could not adjust their biological cycles to the extreme weather conditions.

Responsible Veterinary Surgeon Aygül Arsun said that many animals behave just as they during the spring weather, "We have a bear family and a turtle. In previous years, we had also other species preparing for hibernation in the same way. They did not feel the need to eat, moved less, and retreated to their winter quarters. However, this year they are more active as if they are in spring weather."

Arsun stated that the animals started to experience stress because they did not hibernate and added, "They also have biological balances. They physically expect winter weather and cold, but when this does not happen, they experience stress."

According to the measurements made by the General Directorate of Meteorology from 1930 to 2022, the average temperature in the province was measured as 18.8, the average highest temperature was 24.2, and the average lowest temperature was 13.8.
