Lions and leopards have been captured getting in the Halloween spirit.
The big cats were thrilled after being treated to some pumpkins for the special day – and couldn’t resist rolling, pawing, and playing with the vegetables.
Teddi, Emi, and Santa were rescued last year from war-torn Ukraine and now live at the award-winning Yorkshire Wildlife Park.

The trio previously spent nine months without seeing sunlight or experiencing any stimulation from the outside world, making their excitement all the more heartwarming.
The park’s newly-arrived amur leopard cubs, one of the rarest big cats in the world, were equally intrigued and joined in by smashing up their treats, as reported by What’s The Jam.
Dr Charlotte MacDonald, director of animals at Yorkshire Wildlife Park, said:“It’s clear that the lions and leopards are in high spirits ready for Halloween!
”This is most likely the first time these animals have come across a pumpkin and it’s great seeing them enjoy their treat as much as anyone loves a pumpkin patch around Halloween.”
