For Valentine’s Day, Cast Members at Disney’s Animal Kingdom provided their family of otters with a special enrichment to celebrate the day.
Otters at Animal Kingdom
Thanks to an Instagram post from Dr. Mark Penning, the Vice President of Disney’s Animals, Science, and Environment, viewers can watch as otters Kevin and Mae celebrate Valentine’s Day with their pups. The Animal Nutrition Team at Animal Kingdom provided the family with heart-shaped ice treats, and they were quick to enjoy.
Clam shells were also provided to encourage their natural foraging behaviors. Disney also provided a Valentine’s greeting from Kevin and Mae. See the full interaction below:
This is not the first time Disney’s Animal Nutrition Center has celebrated with its animals. Recently, Tucker, the first Masai Giraffe born at Disney’s Animal Kingdom since 2021, celebrated his first birthday. Other birthdays and holidays have also been celebrated in recent years.
