Crocodiles, otters, iguanas, snakes and even a scorpion were among a number of species enjoying the seasonal fruit.

Some of the peckish creatures at Cotswold Wildlife Park in Burford, Oxon., had a tasty meal while other curious critters just crawled inside.
Hayley Rothwell, senior primate keeper, said: “We carve the pumpkins, stuff them with their food and pop them in the enclosures for them to investigate and get their dinner from. They have lots of fun demolishing the pumpkins.”
