Every creature at a zoo on the edge of the Lake District will get a treat this Christmas - even the cockroaches.
Lakeland Wildlife Oasis, near Milnthorpe, is home to more than 100 species who will all be getting presents this December.
Although the zoo will be closed to the public on Christmas Day, a small team of dedicated staff will still arrive bright and early to care for the animals.
A Lakeland Wildlife Oasis spokesman said: "The zoo is always closed for Christmas to give staff a chance to be with their families but we always have a small team who come in to clean out all the enclosures and feed all the animals.

"Since we can focus on looking after the animals that day, we always make sure to give them something special in their main feed that they will really enjoy."
The festive feasting is specifically tailored to each species so everyone gets a taste of Christmas.
Most of the carnivorous residents enjoy venison, primates receive a rare serving of sweet banana and tropical fish are treated to watermelon.
Even the cockroaches get to tuck into some steamed fruit.
The spokesman said: "Our animals are lucky enough to get treated to gifts from the public through our Amazon wishlist, where new toys, puzzle feeders and enrichment can bring them that Christmas feeling."
While Christmas is a day of treats, the cold weather presents ongoing challenges for the care team.
Tropical species like the fossa, dik-dik and aracari must be shut in each night to stay warm.
The zoo ensures these animals are kept comfortable through climate-controlled bedrooms which carefully match the temperatures they are most comfortable in.
The spokesman said: "All animals which are not equipped to deal with the cold have access to climate-controlled bedrooms which carefully match the temperatures they are most comfortable in, so many animals choose to spend much of their day indoors.
"Other animals, like our arctic foxes, snowy owls and lynx are actually adapted for temperatures much colder than the UK experiences, the foxes are able to cope with temperatures as low as -40°C, making the British winter seem tropical by comparison."
The three-acre zoo is currently operating on winter opening hours, with animal-enthusiasts able to visit between 10am and 4pm.
