It’s the circle of life!

Guests got more than the price of admission after witnessing Masai the giraffe give birth in Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

The magical moment unfolded on the Kilimanjaro Safaris attraction, according to ABC affiliate WFTV.

Some lucky enough to see the once-in-a-lifetime event described the experience on social media. “I was on the safari this morning and saw the legs poking out!” exclaimed one user’s post on Disney’s Animals, Science and Environment Facebook page.

The ride was temporarily closed after the spunky calf walked its first steps, which didn’t appear to bother most guests.

One park-goer jokingly tweeted, “Nice … but couldn’t she have waited until after park hours?”

Two giraffes were born in Disney World last year, the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Kilimanjaro Safaris features over 34 different species of African wildlife over 110 acres.
