Both mother and calf are doing well, bonding in a backstage barn before making their debut on the savanna. This is an exciting time for the Lodge’s animal care team, who have been eagerly anticipating the arrival of this little one.

Elands are the largest species of antelope and are native to the grasslands and woodlands of Africa. They are known for their majestic spiral horns and gentle nature. The addition of this calf is a testament to the exceptional animal care and conservation efforts at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge.
