The story of Southam Zoo
Drinking tea with chimpanzees and taking a pet leopard for a walk was part of everyday life for the Clews family, who had so many animals they opened a zoo at their home.
Graham Clews is 75 now and still lives in the family house at Grandborough Farm in Warwickshire, where Southam Zoo operated for around 15 years.
He's been speaking to BBC CWR'S Richard Williams.
