Meet Corra: Baby Elephant Takes Her First Steps At Disney's Animal Kingdom

February 16, 2024

In a heartwarming spectacle at Walt Disney World's Animal Kingdom, a 2-month-old African Elephant named Corra achieved a significant milestone today as she confidently took her first steps on the vast Savanna.

Weighing in at an impressive 312 pounds, Corra, accompanied by her watchful and nurturing mother Nadirah, embarked on a journey of exploration in her enchanting new surroundings.

What makes this moment even more special is Corra's unique position as the first second-generation elephant in the history of Animal Kingdom.

Born to Nadirah, who herself entered the world at Disney's Animal Kingdom, Corra represents a beautiful continuation of a legacy within the park.

As Corra navigates the Savanna, she is greeted by familiar faces—her aunts Stella and Luna, along with her grandmother, Donna. The tight-knit family unit is a heartening sight, showcasing the strong bonds that elephants share within their herds.

Corra's dad, Mac, adds to the familial atmosphere, residing at the park and completing the picture of a loving and supportive elephant community.

The joyous news doesn't end here; Disney parks has shared their excitement for the future by revealing that two more baby elephants are expected to join the family in 2025.
