So Now You Know

More than 2,000 pounds of vegetation and browse is fed to the animals at Disney's Animal Kingdom every day, and several varieties of worms are provided to the animals, including super mealworms, yellow mealworms, red wigglers, night crawlers and wax worms -- 40,000 in a week. Dieticians also order 80,000 crickets per month as part of the healthy diet for the animals.
