Sand sculpture for zoo visitors

Whipsnade Zoo has a collection of cheetahs

A sand sculpture showing a wild cat catching its prey has gone on show at a zoo with a cheetah collection.

The large display at Whipsnade Zoo in Bedfordshire was created by Yorkshire sculptor Jamie Wardley with sand given free of charge by a local quarry.

On the back of the two-sided artwork a female cheetah is shown with her cubs.

Sand and ice sculptor Mr Wardley, from Bradford, has created works of art at venues around the world but this is his first display in a zoo.
