Disney's Animal Kingdom has a new four-legged resident to watch for on your next visit. A male African painted dog named Prospect has joined the park's existing pack and is already making himself at home.
Guests riding Kilimanjaro Safaris may spot Prospect out on the savanna as he settles into his new surroundings and gets acquainted with his packmates.
African painted dogs are among Africa's most endangered large carnivores, known for their vivid, uniquely patterned coats and remarkably tight-knit social bonds — making a pack setting like Animal Kingdom's an important part of their well-being.
