Adorable New Arrivals for Disney’s Animal Kingdom

Most people in the world have never had a chance to see anything like this in real life! Check out the new animals arriving in Disney’s Animal Kingdom!

Wildlife at Disney’s Animal Kingdom

Disney’s Animal Kingdom is so much more than just a theme park with rides and shows. It is a beacon of conservation!

Here, you can experience the magic of nature when you visit the animal residents, some of whom have been in the park for over 25 years, since the park’s opening day! All of them are part of Disney’s conservation efforts.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom spans over 500 Acres and is home to over 2000 animals representing 300 species of animals. And now there are even more animals for you to see!

New Animals Have Arrived

Disney has welcomed some brand-new animals to Disney’s Animal Kingdom! Unless you have been to Australia, it is possible you have never heard of Tammar wallabies. But now you can meet some for yourself!

These wide-eyed creatures are truly adorable. Many people think Tammar wallabies look a little like miniature kangaroos!

However, they are a completely different species. In fact, Tammar wallabies are the smallest type of wallaby on the planet. They typically do not grow to weigh more than 15 or 20 pounds.

How to See Them

If you want to visit the new Tammar wallabies on your next trip to Walt Disney World, head to Disney’s Animal Kingdom. You will find their habitat at Discovery Island, a place some people rush past without realizing there are lots of cool and unique animals to see, including ring-tailed lemurs and the ever-popular Asian Small-Clawed Otters!

Head to Discovery Island to see the new Tammar wallabies.

While you are in Animal Kingdom, don’t forget to go say hi to Bakso the baby tiger before he is all grown up! Here is what he and his mom have been up to for Mother’s Day.
