Days after rescuing a polar bear from a zoo in Sweden that was closing down, a Suffolk wildlife park is hoping to help save a second bear.

Jimmy's Farm, near Wherstead, has taken in Ewa from Orsa Rovdjurspark, a park which closed its doors last November.

Now they're hoping to save Diego the brown bear, who's the last bear left at the same park.

To enable them to do so, Jimmy's Farm has launched a GoFundMe to build him a large enclosure at their park - which is needed before they can rescue Diego.

They've set a £70,000 target, and have so far, raised more than £15,000.
