Tapir #WatermelonWatch Update

Exciting update—our expecting Malayan tapir ‘Sempurna’ recently had an ultrasound, and her growing calf is looking great! Can you see its mouth opening and closing in this ultrasound?

While we still have some time to go before a summertime birth, our mama-to-be is doing well! She sometimes displays natural territorial behaviours towards sire ‘Tanuck’ so her care team continues to offer them some quiet time apart. And, of course, she’s got quite the appetite! To support her growing needs, our teams are supplementing her diet to ensure all her nutritional needs are met—keep an eye out for some recently pruned poplar that will make a delicious snack!
