It may not quite be arctic weather in the Hadleigh area yet but Jimmy's Farm are getting ready to introduce animals that can more than cope with the coldest of conditions.

A pack of at least six arctic wolves, including a recently born pup, are set to join the wide range of animals at Jimmy's Farm and Wildlife Park, and are expected to meet their public, within the next few weeks.

Staff at the park in Wherstead have welcomed the pack, with a hint of even more exciting arrivals next month.

The Dalton Wolf pack has moved to Suffolk from South Lakes Safari Zoo in Cumbria as part of an adventurous new development plan at the peninsula wildlife park.

Just before making the move at the end of August, a pup, called Neville, was born with a slightly different 'browny pink' appearance due to the soil.

Arctic wolves are smaller than grey wolves and have smaller ears, shorter muzzles and shorted legs to reduce heat loss through exposure to the bitterly cold air.  They live in packs of around seven to ten.

Jimmy's farm has also revealed on it's Facebook page that a film has been made about Jimmy Doherty and his rescue mission as they re-home the animals from abroad.

The park will have to abide by strict planning conditions and licensing from Babergh District Council before being allowed to go on display.

Jimmy's Farm and Wildlife Park has grown from a smallholding not a major east England attraction and now boast camels, zebras and lizards along with its mix of rare breeds, including pigs, goats, sheep and Suffolk Punch horses.

Jimmy's Farm and Wildlife Park has been contacted and invited to comment.
