The savanna family at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge just got a little bigger with the birth of a brand-new waterbuck calf! While Disney has not yet shared the little one’s name or official debut date, animal care teams are giving the newborn time to bond before joining the rest of the herd.
Known for their distinct shaggy coats, waterbucks are a large species of antelope that can live up to 18 years. Sadly, these beautiful animals face growing threats in the wild; the African Wildlife Foundation notes that fewer than 200,000 remain, largely due to severe habitat loss.
The social media post reads:
“You “herd” it here! We’ve welcomed a new waterbuck calf over at Disney’s #AnimalKingdomLodge! This newest addition belongs to a species of antelope commonly found near Africa’s rivers and grasslands.”
