You know how much everyone loves the animals at Disney’s Animal Kingdom? Well, there’s one animal in particular that has been super popular, and she just celebrated her first birthday! It’s a super special elephant named Corra, and Disney gave her a great birthday bash. Let’s dive in and see why she’s such a big deal.
Meet Baby Corra
Last year, a baby elephant named Corra was born at Disney World, and it was a pretty big deal! She’s actually the very first second-generation elephant born at the park – that means her mom, Nadirah, was also born at Disney World! So, Corra is a special part of the Disney family. You can even find stories about her birth online if you want to learn more!
Turns out, births like Corra’s are part of a plan to help keep certain animal species healthy and thriving. It’s called the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) Species Survival Plan. Disney’s been really successful with this, and now they have two whole generations of elephants living happily at the park. Go, Disney!
Where to See Corra
Want to see Corra for yourself? You can spot her when you ride the Kilimanjaro Safaris at Animal Kingdom. Keep an eye out for her running around with her family! It’s so cool to see her playing in her home, which is part of the savanna area in the Kilimanjaro Safaris.
If a quick glance isn’t enough, you might enjoy the “Caring for Giants” tour. I heard it really shows you the elephants up close! It’s a great way to get to know Corra and her family even better.
Birthday Fun!
Corra’s first birthday was on December 13th, and the staff at the park made sure it was a fun one! While she didn’t have a cake to smash (which isn’t really something animals do!), she did get all her favorite treats. She really loves things like peanut butter and bamboo. Yummy!
Disney shared a video of her celebrating, and it is so cute! They also said she’s been growing up fast, learning to stand still for checkups and trying out solid foods. She’s definitely a growing girl! If you’re heading to Animal Kingdom, keep an eye out for her on the safari!
In short: This article is all about a super cute baby elephant named Corra, who was born at Disney’s Animal Kingdom and just turned one year old! Her birth is special because she’s second-generation, and you can see her running around on Kilimanjaro Safari. Disney celebrated her birthday with her favorite foods like peanut butter and bamboo.
