We bet you never thought the wildlife of Mid Beds looked like this!

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!
