Overview
- Disney Parks announced on Tuesday that Cinnamon has joined the Ankole herd on the Kilimanjaro Safaris savanna and released photos showing the calf on the Harambe Wildlife Reserve.
- Guests riding Kilimanjaro Safaris can potentially see Cinnamon on the savanna, but sightings will vary day to day because the animals roam a large, shared habitat.
- The park has not confirmed Cinnamon’s birth date or whether this is the Ankole calf born in March at Animal Kingdom Lodge, and coverage has used inconsistent pronouns for the calf’s sex.
- Ankole cattle are an East African breed noted for very large, wide horns that can span several feet tip-to-tip, a feature that makes them a visually distinctive part of Animal Kingdom exhibits.
- Cinnamon’s debut follows other recent newborns such as giraffe calf Ivy and is likely to drive guest interest and repeat safari rides as visitors try to spot the new animals.
