The lions and capybaras living in Ross-on-Wye

Herefordshire is probably one of the last places you'd expect to find animals like mountain lions, zebras, capybaras and monkeys.

Wildside Exotic Rescue, a private farm in the area, has become a sanctuary for 200 exotic creatures which have been rescued from homes across the UK.

Lindsay McKenna, who runs Wildside Exotic Rescue, is calling for laws around the import of exotic animals to be tightened.

Our reporter Elliot Ball went to meet her.
