Arabian Camels coming to Disney's Animal Kingdom

[Wikkler]

I roll my eyes in your general direction.

Camels are cool.

I never said in my posts that I didn't like camels.

What was wrong with the parade? I mean, the way it clogged up the paths was an issue, but the parade itself was fairly pleasant. I miss them having that big afternoon entertainment.

Loud, annoying, and out of theme for DAK. DAK doesn't need to have a MK parade in it.

Yes would love snow leopards!

Snow leopards are gorgeous animals. We have some at a zoo in my area. My only concern would be the very hot, humid climate in Florida; from my limited knowledge about about them, these animals prefer colder habitats for most of the year.

My sister loves camels. I've been trying to convince her (+ her son and husband) to come with us to Disney next year. Maybe this will do it.

I thought about the Camel rides given at most zoos... and I hope AK does not go down to that level.
Camels are a rather common zoo exhibit animal, so if you never saw one... check your local zoo.

Snow Leopards, Orangs and Red Pandas would be great too!

My zoo carries all three. -_-

And my other has dromedaries too, but I'm still excited by them! I love DAK developing its inner zoo.

Ehrm, you do know that Arabia is not a continent, right? And that the arabian countries are part of Asia, right?

Maybe you should get your facts straight before complaining

Eh, both in area and population the Arabian countries are predominantly African.

Maybe DAKfrica will be developed to fade off into northern Africa, and we'll get a camel exhibit west of Harambe. The way the very tropical India Asia was expanded to fade off into Himalaya Asia to the east.

Soooooo, I assume they are building an Arabia section to the park? Because last I checked, Arabia wasn't in Africa.

Maybe they should just put them in Arendelle.

Seriously, are you ever happy? Or factually correct? Unfortunately for your latest complaint, Arabian (dromedary) camels live PRIMARILY in Africa.

This is a welcome addition to the park, and I'm excited to see how it's executed.

Do they have a scar and carry wands?

I didn't think so.

Harrumph!

They could build an indoor exhibit for the snow leopards.

I would think pictures will be posted or released soon of the camels

I have to jump in here with one of my favorite pictures...I've been lucky enough to ride camels twice, and the most recent time, the camel behind me kept coming up to say hi...

 

[Mouse_Trap]

Can we be sure that is is actual camels they have purchased and not this?
This come to my mind as soon as I read the title.....maybe a new H&C style expansion in the Asia area?

 

[The Empress Lilly]

Dromedaries roaming semi-free from Africa to Discovery Island. Awesome.

Why, if they escape, they could even sell it as Australia...

 

[RSoxNo1]

Add an exhibit with keeper presentations, since they are African but not native to the Serengeti.

A new show with colorful winged flying Macaws and parrots is great... a camel show, not so much IMO.

Hmm Camel interaction...Now 5 -on-5 Camel polo sounds interesting though!

Camels could also work as an exhibit between Africa and Pandora.

Apparently they were testing out the camels today.

 

[djkidkaz]

I'll have to stop over there in the coming days to check it out. Anyone know what times they are bringing them out?

Very cool.

 

[Next Big Thing]

So the camels were actually out? From the looks of it in the picture, I can vaguely place them in the newly expanded area in front of Tree of Life.

"Sallah, I said NO camels! That's FIVE camels; can't you count?"
