More About Magic Of Disney's Animal Kingdom
Screen Rant's exclusive Magic Of Disney's Animal Kingdom clip hails from the new season's first episode. One of the animals that will be featured in the second season premiere is Rosie, a new hippo trying to be accepted by the bloat. In the exclusive clip, Rosie is interacting with other members of the bloat, notably Tuma and her baby Greta. Although tense at first, Rosie is eventually surrounded by the bloat in a beautiful sign of their acceptance.
Magic Of Disney's Animal Kingdom's second season will introduce audiences to a number of animals and experience their stories. Some of these stories focus on the medical aspects of animal care, including sea turtles receiving urgent care in EPCOT, a young rhino with a cracked horn, and an okapi giving birth. Other stories focus on milestones like Rosie's, including a birthday party for a Galápagos tortoise, two elephants' first date, and Disney’s first blacktip reef shark joining the main underwater environment at The Seas in EPCOT.
