Bangkok's Dusit Zoo has evacuated several animals due to the floodwaters that are threatening the capital.
According to the Zoological Park Organisation Director General, four mainland serows and ten spotted deers are being transported to the Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Chonburi province.
Both types of animals were transferred first because they are very sensitive to water.
Officials said that more evacuations may take place if the water level exceeds 50cm.
In the meantime, the zoo has prepared contingency measures to ensure the animals' safety.
Food has been stocked up and could last for two weeks, while several platforms have been raised for medium sized animals like bears and tigers.
Although most of Bangkok remains dry, many of the city's residents are battling to cope with waist high flood waters.
Seven of the capital's 50 districts have been declared at risk by the government. The zones, in the north and northwest, are all experiencing flooding.
