A stroll through Lotherton Hall offers far more than just a glimpse at the elegant gardens and historic surroundings.
Tucked within the estate is a fascinating wildlife collection, where colourful birds, playful penguins and a host of other remarkably cute animals delight visitors of all ages.
Today the Yorkshire Evening Post has gone behind the scenes at the Leeds stately home to take a look at the animals who also call it their home.
