Halloween at Bristol Zoo!

Animals at Bristol's zoo have been given a treat in the run-up to Halloween.

The Zoo's troop of gorillas and lemurs all got carved pumpkins - not only can the creatures play with them, but they can eat them too!

It’s not only the animals who can get into the spooky spirit at Bristol Zoo this autumn.

The Zoo’s popular Halloween festival returns for half term next week.
