Disney’s Animal Kingdom at Walt Disney World recently reopened to the public, once again welcoming guests for the first time in months. Luckily, the park opened just in time to celebrate Christmas in July and some of the park’s big cats got some festive new additions to their exhibits to do just that.
- Dr. Mark Penning, Vice President of Disney’s Animals, Science and Environment team, shared a post on his Instagram account giving a look at just how the lions and tigers at Disney’s Animal Kingdom are celebrating Christmas in July.
- Dr. Penning explained that these new enrichment opportunities promote behaviors like rolling, smelling and rubbing.
- Guests can see the festive African lions on the grasslands of the Kilimanjaro Safaris attraction and find the jolly tigers in their expansive habitat on the Maharajah Jungle Trek.
