These are just some of the creatures currently being housed at Shuttleworth College, Old Warden.

Our photographer June Essex popped in to take a look and get up close to some of the more colourful members of the animal kingdom.

They included a Chilean Rose tarantula, Mellers chameleon and a Surinam cane toad - and she saw the new crocodile enclosure!
