Longleat safari park in Wiltshire has opened its newest attraction - a £1.3m interactive exhibit called Animal Adventure.

Featuring a number of themed, planted areas, and aimed at children, Animal Adventure allows visitors to get close to a number of animals.

The featured areas include a Butterfly Garden, Rabbit World, Guinea Pig Village and a new themed ferret enclosure.

Darren Beasley, head of Animal Adventure, said: "Animal Adventure will allow us to take interaction with animals one step further as we actively involve our visitors in keeper-led tasks.

"Visitors will now be able to assist us in many exciting health and welfare tasks from grooming guinea pigs to weighing and measuring tortoises to monitoring and recording animal behaviours."
