Penguins, otters, ants, iguanas and seals have all enjoyed pumpkin treats this October as part of their enrichment program, helping them to enjoy the spooky season.
At SEA LIFE Scarborough, it’s no surprise that the playful Asian Short-Clawed Otters had a ‘fang-tastic’ time rummaging inside their pumpkins.

Jonny Rudd Curator at National SEA LIFE said: “It’s been great fun to see our animals get in the spooky spirit this October. However, whilst the images are adorable, it’s important to point out that activities like this are great enrichment for the creatures.
“Playing and interacting with different objects, such as coloured ice and pumpkins allows our creatures to improve their well-being and stimulate their natural behaviours such as foraging for food and hunting.”
