The next time you’re visiting Disney’s Animal Kingdom, you’ll want to take a ride on the popular attraction, Kilimanjaro Safaris. It doesn’t matter how many times we ride this attraction, there is always something new and unexpected to see. The most recent addition to Disney’s animal friends is a little hippo that was born.
Disney recently celebrated the 26th birthday of Henry the Hippo, and gave some insight that a baby would be arriving shortly. Henry’s mate, Tumu, was expecting a baby very soon… and it looks like the little one has arrived!
As shared via Disney’s Animals, Science and Environment Facebook on July 12: “Baby News! Our newest resident, a Nile hippopotamus calf, was born earlier today and popped up for a first photo! Our animal care experts are giving the calf plenty of room to bond and nurse with mom, so check back for more updates (and those adorable baby photos) in the coming days.”
Congrats to Mom (Tuma) and Dad (Henry) on their little hippo calf!
