We’ve always had a soft spot for the amazing work shown by Disney’s animal experts. Dedicated professionals look after all of Disney’s Animal Kingdom (and Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge!) residents to keep them happy and healthy so that we can enjoy their company. In recent Disney baby animal news, four new Zebra Foals have expanded the family across Disney’s savannah. Learn more about each new baby Zebra below:
Meet Aziza’s Baby Boy
Second-time mom Aziza delivered the healthy and tall baby boy at Disney’s Animal Kingdom on July 16. The two are bonding in a backstage area before they run out onto the wide-open Harambe Wildlife Reserve.
Meet Asha’s Baby Boy
First-time mom, Asha, gave birth to a beautiful baby boy! Standing tall just like his mother, this curious foal was nursing, exploring his surroundings, and greeting animal care teams by the time breakfast rolled around for many of the other animals.
Meet Cada
Second-time mom, Juno, gave birth to a beautiful baby girl named Cada at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. If you look closely, Cada has a one-of-a-kind white marking within one of the black stripes on her back legs. She has been vocalizing and prancing around alongside mom and her big sister, Cricket, who was also born at the park in 2023.
Meet Penne
The oldest of our Hartmann’s mountain zebra foals, Penne, arrived on June 13 at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge. Penne weighed nearly 100 pounds and was up exploring shortly after birth. Mother, Heidi, is familiar with the idea of having an energetic newborn running around. Her first foal, Asha, was born at the park in 2020. Now that Asha is a mother of her own – we have three generations of Hartmann’s mountain zebras out on the savanna at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge!
Aren’t they beautiful? I love seeing this side of Disney, and I hope you do too.
