A Rare Birth at Disney!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom is celebrating the birth of a rare okapi, who was born on Oct. 1 to mom Zelda. Weighing in at 54 pounds, the calf was up and mobile within the first hour of his birth. He has been nursing and bonding with his mom. The pair will remain in a backstage habitat for the next few months before joining the animals on the savanna.

The calf’s parents – mom Zelda and dad Mandazi – were chosen to breed through the Species Survival Plan (SSP), which is overseen by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) and ensures responsible breeding of threatened and endangered species.
Disney’s Animal Keeper, Kim Thomson, expressed how excited she was to care for a new calf and how it changes the dynamics of her team’s routine.
“We will spend a lot of time conducting observations on mom and calf making sure the calf is bonding well with mom, nursing well and basically hitting all of the milestones we would expect of a growing okapi,” Kim said.
Okapis are an endangered species found in rainforests of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Known as the ghosts of the forest, okapis are shy, reclusive and rarely encountered in the wild. In fact, they weren’t even discovered until 1901. There are an estimated 20,000 okapi in the world, and their population continues to decline due to poaching and habitat loss from commercial logging and mining.
Through the Disney Conservation Fund and their involvement in the AZA’s Species Survival Plan, Disney has been at the forefront of okapi conservation for many years. They have a long-standing relationship with the Okapi Conservation Project in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In fact, the AZA recently recognized Disney’s Animal Kingdom for its contributions to the Okapi Conservation Project.

A Voice You Know; But, Never Thought About
Disney Legend Jack Wagner is a voice that all have heard; but, never gave much thought to.
Disney Legend Jack Wagner was the official park announcer of Disneyland and Walt Disney World. His voice can still be heard today.
His voice is also used by Orlando International Airport’s Automated Guideway Transit System that shuttles passengers between gates 1-29, 30-59 and 60-99. By the way, the shuttle for 100-129 is his son, Mike Wagner!
Jack Wagner was also a radio announcer with KNX in Los Angeles as well as an actor. You can see him in his best known role as the malt shop proprieter in The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet.
Happy Birthday to You, Jack Wagner, October 17, 1925 – June 16, 1995.
