Corra the Elephant Turns One at Animal Kingdom

I believe that most of us feel a tug on our heartstrings when we see baby animals at Animal Kingdom on the Safari. I know I do! Corra the little elephant in particular. She’s a fan favorite for guests and today is her special day!

We’re celebrating a BIG “elephant-sized” birthday! Disney’s youngest African elephant, Corra, is turning ONE today!

To celebrate her big day at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, she received an early birthday surprise from her keepers that was packed with tasty treats like sweet potato, bamboo, and peanut butter. The special moment sparked her curious and playful nature – and like any toddler, she may have left a little bit of a mess! Her mom Nadirah joined in on the fun and enjoyed a treat or two! This milestone highlights the growing bond she shares with her family herd, including her mother Nadirah, aunts Stella and Luna, and her grandmother Donna. Look how sweet she is!

Over the past year, when she wasn’t exploring her habitat on Kilimanjaro Safaris, Corra reached several significant developmental milestones. These included her first experiences with solid foods (she loves sweet potato) and her participation in voluntary health exams.

It’s always exciting to see new little ones at Kilimanjaro Safaris, and a joy to watch them grow. Happy Birthday sweet Corra, here’s to many more!
