Animal Kingdom has added a wide variety of live performers who entertain periodically throughout the day at various locations.

For example, there's the outstanding Kenyan acrobatic troupe Karuka, pictured at right, who perform daily in Africa near the Dawa Bar. The Seryanan Acrobats perform in Asia.

Other entertainers include the percussion groups Beatniks and Mor Thiam.

Several times a day, a Discovery River Boat floats by filled with music and Disney characters!

Smear, Splat & Dip can be found entertaining folks in DinoLand USA.

You won't want to miss performance artist DiVine, the living walking greenery, or Wes Palm, the roving talking palm tree (photo below) who performs in the Oasis, and his counterpart Pipa, the talking recycling can that appears in Conservation Station.

Check your Times Guide for schedules, or visit Steve Soares' WDW Entertainment Website.
