Animals at Cotswold Wildlife Park have been getting into the Halloween spirit with some pumpkin fun.
Mongoose babies Snap, Crackle and Pop were treated to some special pumpkins filled with their favourite treats. Not letting any pumpkins to go to waste they tucked into their Halloween goodies and devoured the contents.
Chris Kibbey, section head of primates and small mammals, said: “As well as ghosts, ghouls and witches, the end of October also signifies an abundance of pumpkins. These make great enrichment items for our animals and allows the keepers to be a bit creative too.”
The park's dwarf mongoose family experienced the pumpkin treats for the first time and the other animals including giant tortoises and anteaters also indulged in their very own Halloween pumpkins.
