Jimmy’s Farm & Wildlife Park marked a very special milestone today as Kamal, the UK’s oldest Asiatic lion, celebrated his 16th birthday.


Asiatic lions Kamal and Rani moved to their new home with us in October 2025, beginning an exciting new chapter at the wildlife park. Since arriving, the pair have captured the hearts of visitors and quickly become two of the park’s most loved residents.

To celebrate Kamal’s birthday, his dedicated ranger team prepared a full day of special enrichment designed to stimulate his natural behaviours and mark the occasion in style.
The celebrations included scent-filled “presents” for Kamal to explore, alongside an impressive ice cake packed with some of his favourite foods. It was the perfect treat for the King of Suffolk.
