Disney World's Animal Kingdom Highlights 'Secret' Animals at the Park Visitors Don't Often See

A trip to Disney World just isn't complete without visiting the savannas and rainforests of Animal Kingdom. After all, who doesn't love a safari? With over 300 species of animals to discover, there's no shortage of things to do and see.

Still, some animal attractions are more popular than others. Disney Cast Member Brennah Chirumbole recently revealed which of the 'secret' animals in the park are her favorite to visit. While they may not actually be secret, these exotic animals do tend to be harder to find or more off the beaten path. 

Have you seen any of these species in Animal Kingdom before? We certainly haven't! There's so much to do when you get into the park--there's no possible way anyone can see it all.

YouTube commenter @pa5666 couldn't be more right when they said there are "so many cute animals" in Disney World. As it turns out, there are over 2000 individual animals in Animal Kingdom alone! Conde Nast reports that another 8000 animals wander the rest of Disney World Resort, so it's safe to say that you'll see some wildlife no matter where you go.

After seeing this video, though, why would you want to go anywhere else? We'd be first in line to visit the Nigerian dwarf goats and kunekune pigs at Rafiki's Planet Watch, and after that, it's off to see the anteaters. Do you think anyone would be able to spot all 5 'secret' species on this list? It might take a little Disney magic, but we pet it's possible!
