As shared on Disney’s Animals, Science and Environment Facebook page on December 4:

“It was an exciting morning at Kilimanjaro Safaris as giraffe calves Maple and Zella joined our family of Masai giraffes on the savanna at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park. They’ve spent a lot of time bonding backstage with moms Mara and Willow, and today was like a big party with the rest of the family and a few neighbors, including zebra, wildebeest and springbok. At first, the two baby besties took their time exploring their new surroundings on the savanna, with their moms and aunts, keepers said. But soon enough, they were running around with four of the older “kids,” enjoying the chilly morning air. The calves will start spending more and more time on the savanna in the coming days, so see if you can catch a glimpse of them on your next safari adventure.”
