If you’re like us, you know the best thing about Disney’s Animal Kingdom isn’t necessarily Flight of Passage or Expedition Everest…
Expedition Everest at Animal Kingdom
The best thing about Animal Kingdom is right there in the park’s name — the ANIMALS, of course!
They’re SO cute, and honestly, sometimes they’re REALLY, truly relatable.
Kilimanjaro Safaris
Take, for instance, one of the newest little babies at Animal Kingdom, Kirana the babirusa (aka the deer-pig). She was only born back in May! Aww!
Baby Kirana!
Today, she had a LITTLE bit of energy to get out, and Dr. Mark Penning, Vice President, of Disney’s Animals, Science & Environment, posted her running and running and running around her pen on Instagram!
While we’ve often felt sluggish in 2020 (#quarantinelife), little Kirana honestly REALLY reminds us of, well, ourselves when we FINALLY get to Walt Disney World! What should we do first?! Run to get some coffee at Starbucks? Rope drop Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway or Splash Mountain?! Hit the shops?! Maybe all of it at once?! AHH! See, we’re zooming around in our heads already, just like this sweet little baby!
