It's not just children and excitable adults who love the thrill of a dazzling white snowy landscape - animals all over the UK are enjoying a good romp through the white stuff.
Cheetah cubs, wolves, wolverine, mara, oryx, camels, meerkats and our faithful pet hounds have been photographed exploring their new surroundings following the latest fresh flurry.
Do you have heart-warming pictures of your pets enjoying the snow? We would love to publish with a credit to you - email: ukpicturedesk@huffingtonpost.com
Animals may not be able to build a snowman, but they know how to enjoy a freezing flurry - flick through our slideshow of animals in their winter wonderland:
