The successful births took place backstage at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. This contributes to the AZA Jamaican Iguana Species Survival Plan (SSP), “helping maintain a healthy, genetically diverse population of one of the rarest iguana species in the world,” said Animals at Disney on Instagram.

Disney did not say if these new iguanas would ever be in guest view. But guests can learn more about iguanas by visiting Sid, a rhinoceros iguana in guest view in the Oasis area of Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

Two Ankole calves have been born at Disney’s Animal Kingdom this year. And baby Masai giraffe Ivy made her debut on Kilimanjaro Safaris in June.
