An animal mad couple are looking to bring the wild side to Fife. 

Briony Elizabeth Taylor ( 26) and her partner Michael Knight (25) have lodged a formal planning application with Fife Council to transform the former Fife Animal Park near Collessie into a zoo and education centre.

They hope to open the doors in Easter if everything goes well with the application.

The couple who are originally from Essex discovered the site of Fife Animal Park after three years of searching. Fife Animal Park closed down after concerns regarding the welfare of the animals. The park had housed 76 species, all of which were rehomed. 

So far the couple have remained tight-lipped about the species they hope to introduce to the proposed zoo but have already revealed they will include zebras, antelopes and monkeys.
