Full List of All the Animals at Animal Kingdom in Disney World

No trip to Disney World is complete without paying a visit with as many Animal Kingdom animals as possible. For vacation planners, or curious park guests, it may be helpful to have a full list of all of the animals currently at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Though, it may surprise you, that such a list does not exist…until now! 

There are over 50 species of animals at Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park. You can see well-known animals like tigers, lions, gorillas, monkeys, and flamingos; or see animals not typically found in zoos like impala, rhinos, hippos, and more. You can even take a free ride on Kilimanjaro Safaris to see 34 different animal species on a simulated African preserve.

So while you won’t find any bears on display at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, there are countless other animal species to see. In this post I share a full, updated list of all of the various animals at Disney’s Animal Kingdom exhibits throughout the theme park. 

I have organized this list by each area (or “land”) of the park. You can scroll through to see the animals in each section of the park, or jump around and follow along as you’d like. **Please note, this list of animals may fluctuate slightly day to day due to animal health, or other extenuating circumstances. There are also no animals on display in Pandora – The World of Avatar.
