New data has found that there are more than 40 "dangerous wild animals" which required licensing living in Norfolk.
The statistics by Born Free, an international wildlife charity, show the various animals living across the county.
Its 2026 survey revealed more than 2,270 "dangerous wild animals" are licensed to be kept privately in Great Britain.
A total of 156 private addresses across 115 local authorities hold licences or are in the application process to keep dangerous wild animals.
Data shows that there are no animals classed by the charity as dangerous wild animals living in Norwich, Great Yarmouth, Broadland or Breckland.
However, in south Norfolk, there are a total of three servals, a small wild cat native to sub-Saharan Africa, as well as a pair of savannah cat crosses.
In north Norfolk, three lowland tapirs and two Bactrian camels are being kept by licensed owners.
Finally, King's Lynn and west Norfolk is home to a whopping 33 blackbucks, a type of antelope commonly found in India and Nepal.
This represents an increase of eight from 2025, when the total number of blackbucks in the area was 25.
The statistics for 2026 make rather different reading from last year's data.
Last year it showed that two clouded leopards and a lemur were being kept in Breckland while Broadland was housing a wild boar and an ostrich.
This year, both of these local authorities now house none of these animals.
Born Free has warned that while the data makes for interesting reading, these animals may well not be the only dangerous ones being kept in Norfolk.
All animals are being kept legally under the Dangerous Animals Act 1976.
