Animal-Kingdom..Disney World Florida

Walt Disney Animal Kingdom is where you see animals in themed areas, they truly represent their natural home environments, I remember saying to Lynn, great thought and preparation has gone into creating these area’s.

Animal Kingdom,.. occupies around 500 acres, its theme is animal conservation; Walt Disney himself was one of the pioneers of this philosophy.

Animal Kingdom Pangani Forest

This park is accredited, by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums; it exceeds the standards in education conservation and research. Animal Kingdom is one of my favorite Orlando theme parks it attracts over ten million people in a year.

Endangered Silver back Gorilla

Pangani Forest Exploration Trail. (Pangani is a region in North west Tanzania), and home to the magnificent Silver back Gorilla, you enter under the lush tropical leafed canopy, a walk-through tour, designed to inform, educate and entertain, take your time, look at the Gorilla, Darwin was right we are descended from Apes

Disney Animal Kingdom

Pangani, which means, “place of enchantment”, is the perfect description of this 5 acre habitat that offers an informative and educational look at some of Africa’s most interesting inhabitants

Naked Mole Rats

Walk further along the trail; you enter a field of huts that contains displays of nests, bones, African wildlife facts, and a very intriguing colony of naked mole rats.

Mole rats are very interesting and unusual creatures Lynn and I spent some time watching them scurry up and down their enclosure

Animal Kingdom Aviary

An aviary which is full of free-flying tropical birds, some highly colored, follows next, dense undergrowth, high humidity, a home from home for these enchanting African birds.

Remember pick up a guide booklet, available around the aviary, they are full of fascinating facts.

Lynn and I spotted a huge variety of species, consider playing a game of “Spot” the bird with your child, they will remember it for years to come.

Animal-Kingdom comes highly recommended for an interesting day out!

Animal-Kingdom Grassland Grazers

African grassland grazers,including tiny, very cute antelopes, Guenther’s dik-diks, Thomson’s gazelles, gerenuk and last but no means least meerkats.

Meerkat home is a perfect replica of African grassland; you see these cheeky little animals standing up on their hind legs, looking at you..... do you remember Timon?

Timon (Meerkat) from Disney Lion King…Sir Elton John

Meerkat’s reminded me of the Lion King experience in the Magic Kingdom; Timon was the Meerkat, in the circle of life, a superb, puppet and animatronics African theme show about the circle of life.

Lynn was singing along to the song.. which she remembered was sang by Sir Elton John
