Did you get some good treats this Halloween? The lemurs and meerkats at the Cotswold Wildlife Park in the United Kingdom did, too! These pictures show some of the park’s critters enjoying carved pumpkins as a tasty snack instead of decorations.

Yum….Candy corn! I am sure that was a huge treat for the animals especially because zoos tend to give them strict diets. Of course the candy was probably designed specifically(spelled correctly?) for lemurs and the other creatures to eat. Am I right? Yeah….HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
