Disney has just announced that Nutmeg the Baby Babirusa has been welcomed to Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Here’s the announcement:
Meet Nutmeg, the second babirusa piglet born at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park. Nutmeg spent a few months backstage bonding with mom before making her first on-stage appearance to Guests. Her keepers left lots of enrichment items for her to find, and she has quickly made herself at home in The Oasis.Like many of the animals in our care, Nutmeg’s birth was recommended per the Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ Species Survival Plan. Babirusa pigs are a vulnerable species threatened by habitat destruction, making her birth a great contribution to their conservation.
