The whole team here at JFWP, past and present, are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our beloved donkey Lilly.

Lilly was part of a trio of donkeys we have here. She leaves behind her lifelong donkey friends Indie and Peggy.

Lilly sadly suffered from colic and despite our ranger and vet team’s best care it proved fatal. We are devasted by her passing, especially the rangers who worked with her every day.

Lilly loved going for walks to meet people and the other animals. She gave the best hugs and if you bent next to her she would rest her head on your back and give you her hoof to hold! She was fun, playful and her braying could be heard all over the park.

Lilly you will always be in our hearts.
