| Guests at Disney's Animal Kingdom will soon be able to see the park's newest additions -- a rare baby zebra and giraffe.
The first Hartmann's Mountain zebra ever born at the Walt Disney World resort is named Kidani, according to Disney officials. Kidani currently weighs about 65 pounds and stands just over 3 feet tall. The zebra could reach 800 pounds when it becomes an adult. Kidani was bred through the Association of Zoos and Aquariums Population Management Plan, which is a consortium of zoos and wildlife parks working together to conserve and breed animals.
The baby was named for the new expansion of Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas, which will be named Kidani Village.
Also, a female baby giraffe named Makena was born at Animal Kingdom. At birth, Makena, which means "Happy One," weighed 118 pounds and stood just under 6 feet tall.
