Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Disney’s Animal Kingdom welcomes baby animals to their ever-growing wild animal family all the time, and these new adorable bundles of cuteness are going to make you say “AWWWWWW“!
Animal Kingdom is home to over 2,000 animals and approximately 300 animal species, so it is no surprise they have welcomed over 300 baby animals born just this year alone!

Dr. Mark Penning, Disney Parks Vice President of Animals, Science, and Environment, oversees animal care and environmental initiatives at Disney Parks and Resorts around the world. Dr. Penning posts adorable photos and updates on his Instagram, and we love seeing the updates he shares about the animals at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
Just this week, Dr. Penning shared with his followers an update on one of Animal Kingdom’s Hedgehog Tenrec moms!
Meet Glitter Toaster Strudel and her new babies! These eight adorable Lesser Madagascar Tenrec babies have joined their mother as ambassador animals, which will help teach Animal Kingdom guests about their species and how they can help protect wildlife. They can be found with their keepers at Conservation Station at Rafiki’s Planet Watch inside Animal Kingdom.
