A Head Above the Rest

Evolution has handed Giraffes quite the advantage by being able to see over the rest of the animals to see where the best food in the area can be found. That must be quite a view they have up there. At Disney's Animal Kingdom hey also have the advantage of the rest of their friends in the habitat not being able to reach their food!

Time to Kick Back

While some may miss the "Big Red and Little Red" storyline at the end of Kilimanjaro Safaris, few can argue against the addition of the Addax herd. These gorgeous and unique animals have really added something to the iconic attraction.

Addax have certainly faced their fairy share of dangers, but not in the Harambe Wildlife Reserve. Here, they can lower their guard and relax on a lazy summer afternoon.

For Elephant Day

Today is World Elephant Day so what better way to celebrate it Animal Kingdom style then with a blast from the past. This picture was taken in 1998, a few short months after the opening of the park.

As I am sure you know, the stars of the safari, the main attraction of the park, were elephants, Little Red and Big Red, with a story focused on the plight of poaching. While they might not have been real, these two were and so unfortunately, is the plight.

Just Let Me Sleep a Few Minutes Longer

Summer time at Disney's Animal Kingdom is a time when the park is filled with guests, and many are looking for some great animal sighting. The problem is, these animals aren't exactly about to work up a sweat just to put on a show. For example, you will be lucky to spot a lion at all, and if you do he or she will likely be napping the heat away.

But have your camera at the ready anyway. Even a napping lion makes for a great photo!
