The new animals and changes at Jimmy's Farm in 2025

Suffolk's busiest wildlife park has welcomed new animals and introduced a range of changes, with more to come in the new year.

One of the biggest and most anticipated changes at Jimmy's Farm and Wildlife Park in Wherstead this year was the arrival of three big cats.

The park, just outside of Ipswich, welcomed two Asiatic lions as well as an Amur tiger in October.

They had all arrived from Chessington World of Adventures Resort in London, with Jimmy's Farm spending months building the new enclosures.

The wildlife park has also welcomed two reindeer, with them arriving in March, way ahead of the festive period.

Loki was six and Sami was eight months old when they arrived from Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo in the South of Wales.

They moved into the Lost Lands of the Tundra exhibit, joining the existing reindeer at the wildlife park.

The wildlife park has been building a new enclosure, which they have teased will bring a touch of India to the Suffolk park.

Although the animals have not been revealed for the enclosure, our readers have been coming up with what they would like to see there.

The most requested animal was elephants, which can be found in regions across India, but the new arrival was hinted to be a carnivore, which elephants are not.

In spring, the farm welcomed a pygmy goat kid, who has been enjoying life with their mother, Ribbon.

When it arrived, a Jimmy's Farm spokesman said: "Spring has arrived at the farm and bringing with it new life!

"We're thrilled to introduce the newest member of our farm family, a precious pygmy goat kid."

An addition to look forward to in the future will be accommodation for guests, which will be next to the lions and tigers.

It will include 10 tent-style lodges being built on the wildlife park, giving visitors a safari experience in Suffolk.

The tents are part of the developing Project Carnivore, where the lions and tigers are, as well as the new enclosure, bringing a touch of India to Suffolk.
