At Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park Day
dawns for Africa’s Mightiest Meat Eaters.
Alright, are you ready to shift 1.2 line on show?
Have a great day.
Three Majestic Lions
rule this savannah.
You normally see them walk their whole perimeter and set mark
a lot of different things.
This is how lions communicate not only with each other, but with other.
Lion prides in the wild
after they survey their surroundings.
Typically your hail them vocalize to group.
Is that beautiful?
Right. Oh.
And that’s pretty typical lion behavior.
That’s how they announce themselves.
Kenzi is kind of got like a rasp to her vocalization. Oh.
He likes to do a quick huff,
and then Dakari
is just big, loud and powerful.
And vocalizing is one of my favorite things in the world.
I’ve worked with him for two years and hearing that sound every day
just gives me goose bumps.
You’ll see a lot of play behavior.
One of their favorite things to do is spar and play with each other.
Our two sisters, Kinsey
and Kamari, really love to see who can sneak up on the other first.
Oh, it’s always been
one of my biggest goals to work with these beautiful African carnivores.
And I have fallen in love with this pride.
Morning, Kamari.
How are you doing today?
You’re having a good morning.
From this vantage point, they can see the entire east.
Savannah, our Barnaba, our water buck are coming out here.
We have our officer, Jaz.
They definitely get really hyped when the ostrich comes soaring by.
But at the happiest place on earth ahead, a network of moats and barriers
keeps predators and prey apart.
Right now we are introducing some of our baby rhinos to the savannah.
Are you excited to see the baby rhinos come out?
Oh, yeah.
We have Milo Ranger and their sister Logan coming out every day.
These guys definitely keep a good, watchful eye over the savannah
when all these babies are coming out and exploring their new surroundings.
A healthy
lion needs more than just eye candy.
We get bored looking at the same stuff every single day, so why wouldn’t they?
They’re all entering their teens, which is the geriatric stage in a big cats life.
So we really need to see how their range of motion is functioning,
just like when we get older.
Arthritis is a big problem
They need a hook term on a giraffe.
Yesterday we put some of those shavings on that rock to replicate natural scents
that lions would smell in the wild like a giraffe
just walk through their exhibit.
This is really cool to see her pawing and clawing at that just like
she would be using those muscles to hunt and forage in the wild. Oh.
