Kamal - the oldest lion - at Jimmy's Farm and Wildlife Park in Wherstead, passed away at the age of 16 after the effects of old age began to impact his quality of life. A spokesperson for the Jimmy's Farm said: "Kamal was a magnificent lion - his roar echoed across the park each day, becoming a sound that so many of us will always remember. Kamal was closely monitored by the park's team and veterinary professionals as he entered the later stages of his life. The zoo says that Kamal passed peacefully without suffering. The spokesperson added: "We will ensure she receives all the care, attention and support she needs as she adjusts."
