It’s time for a celebration!

We love seeing Disney’s animals living their adorable lives over at Disney’s Animal Kingdom each time we visit, and one of our favorites is the African elephants. These gentle giants never fail to take our breath away, but today, Disney is celebrating something extra special in the park — Corra, the youngest elephant, turns ONE! We’ve been dying for a baby elephant update ever since Corra was first born, so it’s safe to say we are SUPER excited about this news.
That’s right! To celebrate this big milestone, Corra’s keepers surprised her with an early birthday party! Of course, the celebration called for some of her favorites — sweet potato, bamboo, and peanut butter.

Curious and rambunctious, Corra left a little bit of a mess, but hey, we get it! We’re all excited about our birthdays, too, and can get a little ahead of ourselves.

Her mom, Nadirah, also joined in on the fun and snagged a treat or two herself, which we love!

Right now, you can often see Corra with the rest of the family herd, made up of her mom Nadirah, aunts Stella and Luna, and grandmother Donna on Kilimanjaro Safaris! However, when you don’t see Corra, it’s because she’s back with her keepers, hitting all sorts of important milestones, just like she was this past year.
