Disney’s Animal Kingdom Welcomes Baby Mandrill

[I am Timmy]

Born on Aug. 8 to mom Scarlett and dad Winston. Scarlett, Winston and their new baby are three of the mandrills that guests can view on Kilimanjaro Safari, according to the article by Scott Terrell, DVM, DACVP, Director of Animal & Science Operations at DW. He goes on to say, "As far as the new baby mandrill, the gender and exact birth weight is unknown because we are giving Scarlett and her baby plenty of time to bond." Since 1995, the Disney Conservation Fund has provided more than $6.5 million to support conservation of mandrills and other primates in 29 countries.
Isn't that just the best news? So cute and tiny! Can't wait to learn the name of the newest member of AK.

If you've never seen them, it's because they live in a cave on the other side of the elephants before the shaky bridge.

Disney can birth a baby mandrill but they can't buy the Marvel rights back from Universal?!?! Priorities!
