Kyle Thomas has confirmed that his marmosets will be housed in the new South American area. Will be nice to see another small primate in the collection. Also, not sure if this has been mentioned but the rumoured plans for South America will be an expansion of the anteater enclosure and likely new enclosures for the tapir, rhea and guanaco. It’s unknown whether these animals will live together or separate. I think it’s most likely that the tapirs and rhea will live together and the guanaco will live the field surrounding the marmoset enclosure.

It is also now strongly rumoured that the new India reserve will be for indian rhino. There’s a small pool and lots of grass and open space. I personally don’t believe that Kalinka the tiger will move opposite the lions because her subspecies of tiger is not found in India. I’m quietly hopeful that snow leopards may move there. That would be a great area of the park: brown bears, snow leopards, indian rhinos, Amur tigers and asiatic lions!

Is Kyle Thomas the same guy who has ananimal sanctuary in Ireland? Or has he become a partner at Jimmy's Farm?

Don't remember if it was in Ireland, but it was a series on BBC I think.

Checked out the film about him and his collection in Ireland, guess he must be using his fame rather than his knowledge for the role.
He is only young but his enthusiasm make sip for his lack of experience and from his posts & videos he obviously has a serious interest. Should be a win win situation for Jimmy's Farm
