Overview
- Disney shared a new video showing keeper‑designed enrichment for Tucker, including giraffe‑safe cupcakes and a birthday cake prepared by the Animal Nutrition Center.
- Tucker is the first Masai giraffe calf born at the park since 2021 and debuted to guests on Kilimanjaro Safaris around Earth Day 2025.
- Guests can currently view Tucker only on the Kilimanjaro Safaris attraction, not on the Animal Kingdom Lodge savanna.
- The Masai giraffe is listed as Endangered by the IUCN with about 30,000 remaining, and Tucker’s birth supports the AZA Species Survival Plan for genetic diversity.
- The birthday spotlight aligns with the Disney Conservation Fund’s 30‑year legacy, which has directed more than $132 million to wildlife and habitat programs since 1995.
