Part 5/10:
The cold weather poses a threat not only to plants but also to the animals that inhabit the parks. For areas like Disney's Animal Kingdom, where species are accustomed to warmer climates, operators are monitoring the situation closely. They are implementing protective measures such as cover-ups, controlled irrigation, and wind protection strategies to minimize stress on sensitive plants and animals.
Some of the more delicate flora, including exotic tropical plants and even thematic "piranha plants" from the parks' creative displays, face potential harm if the cold persists. Park teams are also trimming banana leaves and other foliage to prevent damage, which is standard practice during rare cold events.
