Earlier this year, thousands voted to name Disney’s Animal Kingdom’s female baby rhino, Kiama. She has been growing rapidly – gaining about three or four pounds a day – and now you can see her during your next adventure on the Kilimanjaro Safari attraction.
The young white baby rhino Kiama makes her debut at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, stepping on to the savanna for the first time. Kiama weighs about 400 pounds, while her mom, Kendi, is closer to 4,000 pounds! Kendi was also born at Animal Kingdom in 1999.

According to by Jackie Ogden, Ph.D., Vice President, Animals, Science and Environment for Disney Parks, Kiama stays close to her mom, and sometimes breaks away to play in the dirt or investigate different noises. Then, she playfully runs back to the safety of her mom. They are a joy to watch, and I hope you have the opportunity to see them exploring the savanna soon!

You can help rhinos in the wild by purchasing only “wildlife-friendly” products and never buying products made from rhino horns. You also can support organizations like the Disney Conservation Fund and the International Rhino Foundation, which are both active in rhino research and conservation.
