From the Disney Parks Blog and written by: Dr. Mark Penning
Hello, Disney Parks Blog readers! I wanted to share an update on our beloved wildlife. Although Walt Disney World Resort is temporarily closed, Disney’s Animal Care team is continuing to provide top-notch care to the thousands of animals who roam our savanna and seas. We are diligently following state and federal guidelines to ensure the health and safety of our dedicated team.
Check out a video that shares more about the amazing work our cast members are doing to ensure our animals continue to thrive at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. And stay tuned for a heartwarming announcement that we’ll be making tomorrow!
Finally, follow me and my team as we care for animals both and work to make an impact on environments and habitats across the globe on my Instagram, @DrMarkAtDisney. Hope to see you soon!
