Port Lympne Reserve Dinosaur Forest: Mammoth and other new arrivals join the herd

by Angela Cole

There'll be some huge new arrivals at Port Lympne Reserve this summer.

The wildlife park, near Hythe, is gearing up to welcome 10 new family members to its Dinosaur Forest attraction, which opened at Easter.

A mammoth with huge tusks is one of the giant figures which have already arrived.

They will join more than 100 prehistoric creatures at Port Lympne which have already been wowing visitors during its 40th anniversary.

It is set to be the largest collection of life-sized dinosaurs in Europe and so far its static models include 40 species such as the Tyrannosaurus Rex, Diplodocus, and Pterodactyl.

No date has been set for the unveiling of the new arrivals, although they are expected to be available for all to see in time for the school summer holidays at the end of this month.

Details of more of the animals arriving will be revealed over the coming weeks.
