Forget apple bobbing - the latest craze at one wild animal park in Kent is pumpkin bobbing.

Keepers at Howletts Wild Animal Park near Canterbury have been helping their animals get into the Halloween spirit by giving them seasonal treats.

Red river hogs have enjoyed apple and pumpkin bobbing, while European bisons have used their horns to tackle carved pumpkins and spooky toys.

The giant anteaters in Kent used their tongues and impressive talons to get stuck into a large carved pumpkin, complete with tasty worms inside.

Animal director Adrian Harland said: "As Halloween is just around the corner, we decided to offer a variety of our animals some themed treats as part of our important enrichment programme, which is designed to encourage mental, physical and sensory perception."

The animals will be enjoying them throughout half term this week.

The park is also running its Kids Go Free Offer and until Sunday, October 28, there will be daily activities including free animal talks.
