Little Red Elephant Animatronic Reportedly Returns to Disney’s Animal Kingdom

Little Red, the baby elephant animatronic, has reportedly returned to a guest-facing location at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

Originally part of Kilimanjaro Safaris, Little Red was a prop used for the anti-poaching portion of the attraction. Disney removed that storyline in 2012, and Little Red was moved backstage away from guests’ view.

However, Little Red is currently on display to guests who are on the Caring for Giants backstage tour. It’s visible in the second elephant yard, which is a backstage area.

During this 60-minute experience, you’ll meet with a Guide who will provide insight into the inner workings of Disney’s African elephant herd. Your guide will provide a glimpse into the day-to-day care of these animals and share stories of Disney’s conservation efforts dedicated to the preservation of wild populations throughout the world.

Throughout this experience, you’ll be able to observe the elephants from approximately 80 to 100 feet away—so you’ll enjoy a closer encounter with the elephants than you would during other in-park experiences.
