    As of 2017 they had an 8 year old male. Is he still alive? I don't know.

    Unless things have changed in the past couple of years, they have at least one male lion.

    Animal Kingdom is the only park not going through upgrades currently. D23 is in August, so maybe there will be announcements then. Until then, it's Galaxy's Edge and Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway at Hollywood Studios, a lot of stuff at Epcot, and a Tron Coaster at Magic Kingdom.

    While there have been no announced plans, some persistent rumors have circulated for a few years that the current Dinosaur section may be changed to a South American focused Indiana Jones theme (the ride Dinosaur uses the same ride technology as Disneyland's Indiana Jones ride). If such a change were to occur, there is the possibility of at least some animal exhibits. Moreover, Rafiki's Planet Watch, which closed last year, is due to reopen in some revised form (though details have been scarce about what specific changes will be made).

    Besides the minor addition of the hyena/wild dog to Kilimanjaro Safaris, there have been no substantial animal exhibit additions to Animal Kingdom since the completion of Asia's Maharajah Jungle Trek many years ago. Even if there are eventually new lands added to Animal Kingdom in the future, it is almost certain that they will be centered around recognizable intellectual property (IP), possibly Indiana Jones or the also-rumored Zootopia (which is the base of a new land going into Shanghai Disneyland), with any (live) animal additions being small at best. Having said that, Disney has surprised before. As noted, the D23 expo this summer may reveal some future plans for Animal Kingdom, but with crowds still up after the addition of Pandora, I wouldn't expect much major for this park.

    Did Animal Kingdom drop out of the Eld's Deer SSP recently? In this video from the Tim Tracker, he states at 23:07 that they currently only have one female left who is the third oldest living in captivity at 18 years old. If they did, did the remaining go to Smithsonian's Conservation Biology Institute in Front Royal, VA? The only other facilities I can think of that have the species within AZA on public display are Bonx and Sedgwick. When I was there in 2017 they had one stag and at least 5 hinds in the main paddock alongside the Blackbuck and Water Buffalo.

    Wait a minute I didn’t think that DAK would have Steenbok thank you for the video by the way @vogelcommando.
