Happy Mother’s Day to all of our readers who celebrate! This year, Disney gave us a glimpse into what the animal moms in Disney’s Animal Kingdom are up to on this special Sunday.

Of course, everyone is already madly in love with baby Sumatran tiger Bakso and his mom, Sohni. It is so fun to see them play on the Maharajah Jungle Trek.

The animal care team even made Sohni a special celebration. You can read about it HERE. But, did you know there are plenty of other animal moms and babies to visit while you are in Animal Kingdom?

Don’t forget to stop by Discovery Island and say hi to a special family of Otters. This sweet mom had 3 pups earlier this year!

What could be cuter than watching baby otters splash and play? Check them out at the Otter Grotto. There is dry land and underwater viewing!

While you are at Discovery Island, be sure to look for the newest Animal Kingdom residents. Tiny Tammar Wallabies have moved in. You can read about them HERE.

And, there are also plenty of fun animals to visit on Kilimanjaro Safaris, including Giraffe mom Mara and her baby Tucker! You can read Tucker’s story HERE.

And, don’t forget about Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge. There are little ones on the savanna and backstage waiting to make a debut.

Juniper, a critically endangered addax, welcomed an adorable calf named Ginny last month. They are still bonding backstage. However, if you head to Uzima Savanna, you might spot addax mom Violet and her calf Henry exploring their surroundings!
