Happy Birthday to Corra the Elephant!

It’s a big, elephant-sized celebration at Disney’s Animal Kingdom as Corra, the youngest African elephant at the park, turns one year old this Friday! To mark the special occasion, her keepers surprised her with an early birthday treat filled with all her favorites—sweet potato, bamboo, and even peanut butter.

Corra’s curious and playful nature took center stage as she explored her surprise, leaving a little mess behind (as toddlers do!). Her mom, Nadirah, couldn’t resist joining the fun and snagging a few treats for herself, creating a heartwarming moment for the family herd.

Corra’s first year has been nothing short of extraordinary. When she’s not delighting guests on Kilimanjaro Safaris with her adventures, she’s been hitting some big developmental milestones.

From discovering the joys of solid foods (sweet potato is her favorite!) to participating in voluntary health exams, she’s been growing by leaps and bounds.

This milestone birthday also highlights her ever-deepening bond with her family, which includes her mom Nadirah, aunts Stella and Luna, and her grandmother Donna.
