Longleat's infamous Halloween festival is back and taking place over the October half-term holidays – until Monday, November 4.
Keepers at Longleat Safari Park in Wiltshire stuffed pumpkins with treats, hanging them from trees much to the delight of Siberian tiger sisters Soundari, Shouri and Svetli.
The pumpkins also provided much fun for the resident anteaters, macaque monkeys and red pandas.
'The pumpkins’ appearance was of a lot less interest than what was inside'
Keeper Ian Turner said: 'It’s become something of a tradition for us to have a competition to see which members of staff can come up with the best carved pumpkin.
'For the animals, the pumpkins’ appearance was of a lot less interest than what was inside as we had hidden a variety of treats within them.
'The tigers in particular got very excited and were literally leaping off the ground to get to theirs.
'The anteaters made good use of their extra-long tongues to give the inside of their pumpkin a thorough inspection.
He added: 'Once again though it was the monkeys who seemed to get the most from the experience.
'They not only got all the treats inside but also used the pumpkin as a swing before then breaking it up in to smaller segments and sharing it amongst them.'
