Talk about double the cuteness.

This week, staff at Walt Disney World’s Animal Kingdom in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, announced the arrival of two new additions: a Nile hippopotamus calf born on July 12 and a western lowland gorilla following on July 13.

Both newborns are healthy and under the supervision of Disney’s animal care team, according to a representative for the park.

Tuma is the proud new mama of the hippopotamus calf, born in the Safi River on Kilimanjaro Safaris. That little one joins nine family members, including dad Henry, and is “nuzzling with mom and moving through the water like a pro,” Terrell reports.

While both babies are busy nursing and bonding with their mothers, Terrell says, they are available to see in their habitats, as well. In the coming weeks,Animal Kingdom staff will sharemore information on the little ones, including their sexes and weights.
