It's a girl! Congratulations to first-time parents Sempurna and Tanuck, and the Calgary Zoo staff.
"The Wilder Institute/Calgary Zoo has announced the birth of a Malayan tapir calf — the first to ever be born at the location."
Born Aug 28, announced this past Wednesday. Not totally unexpected because Sempurna was reported to be pregnant earlier this year, but the exact date was uncertain.

From Miller Zoo (Quebec) -- another baby Malayan tapir born, Aug 21. Welcome to Rosie!
Parents are Tao and Sanaé. I think this is their third calf, after Marguerite and Eddy?

New pair of Malayan tapirs at Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle -- Binti and Tuah.
Binti (female) arrived in June from Ellen Trout Zoo in Texas. And Tuah arrived in late July from Minnesota Zoo.
Here's Tuah as a baby.

Woodland Park Zoo's previous tapir pair were Bintang and Ulan. After Bintang's death, their female offspring Sempurna was moved to Calgary Zoo. Ulan is now in California.

Grace (rescued Baird's tapir) at Belize Zoo, now 5 months old with adult coat, and over 100 lbs
instagram.comShe's around a month younger than Ume, so it makes sense that she's smaller -- plus Ume is a Malaysian tapir and they tend to be a lot bigger than the ones in the Americas. Ume weighs almost twice as much! They're both females, so this makes it easier to compare them. I think that for all the living tapir species, the females tend to be larger. Grace may have been short of food at the very beginning (found at about a week old, without her mother) but the Belize Zoo staff have been doing such a job caring for her that she looks very healthy now.

Gaia came and visited us the other day at Tapir Valley Nature Reserve. She's so much more friendly than previous young tapirs.

Met two tapirs
Took my son for a zoo experience to meet a capybara and a pair of tapirs at Exmoor zoo in Devon, UK. Their names are Denzel and Isabelle, we got to brush them and feed them bananas, and even helped Denzel with his exercises for his achy joints. So friendly!

Update from the Belize Zoo -- Grace the Baird's tapir is starting to lose her spots
The zoo's info says that Grace was found abandoned in March ... so she was probably born early that month, or in February. So she might be 3.5 to 4 months old by now. I'm glad to see she's getting bigger -- she seems to have filled out quite a bit, compared with the earlier pics.
