Animals enjoying the snow at Colchester Zoo!
Amur Tiger in snow
As the temperatures have plummeted and more snow is forecast, the animals at Colchester zoo have been enjoying the weather outside, as this picture shows.

The zoo says that all the animals have got warm indoor areas where they can shelter away from the cold with either underfloor heating or radiators – allowing all the animals that like to stay inside the warm conditions to do so.  Some animals, however, like the tigers or wolves love nothing better than the chance to play out in the snow!
 
They’ve also being getting extra treats with the keepers cooking up some tasty snacks for the primates to ensure that they stay nice and warm.

Milk recalled over presence of veterinary medicines

Graham's Family Dairy has issued a recall for its semi-skimmed milk due to the presence of veterinary medicines in the product.

In a risk statement, the Food Standards Agency said the presence of the medicines, including penicillin, make the milk unsafe to consume and 'may be a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to antibiotics'.

Customers who bought the product are advised to return it to the store of purchase for a full refund.
