Kianga, the newest baby elephant at Disney's Animal Kingdom, made her first appearance in the main elephant area of Kilimanjaro Safaris on August 5. Kianga will continue to spend a few hours a day on the savanna for about a week, then will begin to spend the entire day after she has been introduced to the other elephant herd members. Depending on where she is, you might not be able to see her when you're riding the Kilimanjaro Safaris -- she's still just a small elephant!
