Dr. Mark Penning shared on Instagram about the new addition to Disney’s Animal Kingdom. The new yellow-backed duiker calf was born earlier this month to mom Pearl. Her name is Penny! Her birth is truly special as the last yellow-backed duiker calf born in Disney’s care was over 20 years ago.

Mom and baby are backstage now, but you can look out for this adorable pair on Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail later this summer.

“Join us in welcoming Penny, our newest addition to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park! This sweet yellow-backed duiker calf was born earlier this month to mom Pearl. The birth of Penny is an incredible milestone, as the last yellow-backed duiker calf born in our care was over 20 years ago.

This birth is truly special to me, as yellow-backed duikers are one of my favorite animals. It’s been a pleasure working with the Association of Zoos and Aquariums Species Survival Plan to introduce this unique species to our guests.
