Pictures have shown the devastating wreckage left at a Scots zoo after it dealt with a second huge blaze in just over a year.
Several vehicles have been left burned out shells following the fire last month, with a building at the zoo in Cupar also suffering major fire damage.
Bosses at the zoo have also revealed living spaces, tools and general equipment were all wiped out during the inferno.
Fire crews raced to Fife Zoo last month after flames and smoke were seen billowing from the visitor attraction - which had been open at the time.
It came just over 12 months after the zoo was devastated by a separate blaze that had ripped through buildings after starting in the soft play area.
While no animals or staff were injured in either inferno, the zoo has been forced to issue a plea for help after losing tools and equipment worth thousands in the fire.
A statement by Fife Zoo bosses said: "The struggle is real.
"We all work our fingers to the bone and we have been struck with some pretty horrific streaks of bad luck and it is taking its toll on everyone here. But resilience and positive attitude is what carries us through each day.
"The recent fire that happened in July has taken all of our tools, grounds equipment, living space, vehicles and not to mention our brand new never dug a hole JCB mini digger, this is the first piece of proper plant equipment we have bought to push development forward and it has perished in the fire."
The statement continued: "If there are any businesses, local and international that can help us please get in touch. If anyone has any tools, lawnmowers, strimmers etc they can lend or donate you will be playing a massive part in helping us recover.
"We will recognise and give back to those who can lend a helping hand it will mean the world to all the staff here at the zoo. To get in touch please email: kenny@fifezoo.co.uk
"Peace, love and happiness to all."
Dramatic photos shared by the zoo have shown the aftermath of the fierce blaze that destroyed one building and left equipment and vehicles burn out in its wake.
The zoo has already had countless offers of help since sharing its appeal on Monday.
One said: "Do you need volunteers? I'm sure I could round up a bunch of people to come and help."
