Celebrate Mother’s Day with Baby Animals at Animal Kingdom
Sohni, one of our favorite moms, is a critically endangered Sumatran tiger. Now that she’s a mom for the second time, her cub Bakso is charming everyone with his playful behavior. Sohni is doing a great job teaching Bakso how to be a self-sufficient tiger, and their fun times together at Maharajah Jungle Trek have become a hit with our visitors.
Mornings are a great time to see the sweet relationship between Sohni and Bakso as they have fun in their green surroundings. You can usually catch Sohni lovingly cleaning Bakso’s fur, while Bakso joyfully leaps at her in a playful chase.
This young giraffe is picking things up fast, staying close to his mom while she shows him how to find food, make friends, and check out the area. Mara has been helping Tucker navigate the savanna with soft nudges, teaching him the nuances of giraffe communication and how to move around.
Critically Endangered Baby Addax at Animal Kingdom Lodge
Juniper’s journey into motherhood is a joyous occasion, as she nurses and nurtures Ginny backstage before they join the rest of the herd. Ginny and Juniper have been sharing tender moments as they bond alongside each other.
Another proud mother, Violet, also welcomed her calf, Henry, who is now exploring the Uzima Savanna along with other members of the addax family. These births are monumental, especially as the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) lists the addax as critically endangered.
Disney’s commitment to conserving endangered species, like addax, Sumatran tigers and the Masai giraffe are made possible in collaboration with the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) and the Species Survival Plan (SSP), underscoring the importance of every new life.
As we honor these remarkable animal mothers, we extend our gratitude to mothers everywhere for their boundless love and dedication.
