    Disney's Animal Kingdom is welcoming a new addition to the family.

    Squirt, a baby gerenuk calf, made his debut to the pubilc as part of the park's Pangani Forest Exploration Trail.

    The gerenuk is a species of African antelope with a unique long neck, allowing it to reach leaves off trees to eat.

    Squirt was born in late November, becoming Animal Kingdom's 28th gerenuk calf.

    I wish I were Squirt so I am legitimately part of Disney ;) (kidding). It is very heartwarming.

    Love the baby animals, hate the heat. I prefer other parks to Animal Kingdom. Still, it's awesome that Mr. Stork came and delivered a baby antelope to Mrs. Antelope. :) Congratulations to them.

    Aww! I love gerenuks. They look like stylized cartoon animals with how slender they're built and now long their necks are.
