Primates at a zoo have been getting into the spirit of Halloween with some spooky themed treats.

Keepers at Port Lympne Reserve in Kent have provided a group of black and white ruffed lemurs and capuchin monkeys with pumpkins carved with creepy faces and smeared inside with organic, speciality peanut spread.

Spectre-shaped hangings have also been placed inside the capuchin monkeys' enclosure, the zoo said.

Animal director Adrian Harland said: "We are always thinking of new and exciting ways to provide enrichment for our animals.

"It keeps them active and provides them with lots of interest.

"The lemurs really enjoyed the pumpkins and, even after they had scooped out the sticky treats inside, they were happy to chew the pumpkins themselves."
