Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge Disney's Animal Kingdom® Lodge Full Species List

Is it true that Animal Kingdom Lodge regained Somali Wild Asses? Because, if not, their inclusion in the spotting guide is clearly incorrect.

[Edit] The same reasons apply for the Scimitar-Horned Oryx and Sitatunga.

It is possible that the PDF is an old guide, All Ears does not always update their docs.

It appears that pdf is the same guide that was at the lodge when I first stayed there in December 2018.

I got curious how different it was than the ones I had framed with a map of the resort after that first trip and it is indeed the exact same.

What happened to the steenbok? Any recent sightings?

I'm watchied episode 8 of season 1 of National Geographic's "Magic of Disney's Animal Kingdom."

It features Stark, a baby steenbok who had serious issues with his front legs that could have led to lifelong pain.

He underwent surgery to straighten them, but I haven't found an update about him.

Did they trade-away their steenbok, including Stark?

Or maybe Stark regressed and they quietly euthanized him?

The Steenbok are in one of the savannas that's only visible if you have a room overlooking it.

Oh that's a relief. Thank you!

The Steenbok are in one of the savannas that's only visible if you have a room overlooking it.

Technically there is an overlook area, but it is really small and affords a short view of that savanna. It is behind the pool bar in that part of the lodge. Odds that the steenbok are there when one happens to be looking are pretty slim.

While you will have to take my word for it, I can confirm that there is at least one Steenbok still alive in the Lodge’s Pembe Savanna.

Back when the lodge first open they had gemsbok, but it has been quite a few years now.

While you will have to take my word for it, I can confirm that there is at least one Steenbok still alive in the Lodge’s Pembe Savanna.

I can do you one better, I can confirm that there are at least two of them left as of the 30th of December

@Stygi I’m glad to hear that there’s more than one steenbok, but it looks like the images you provided don’t seem to work properly.
