Malayan tapir 'Sempurna' now grazes—snacking, resting, and then coming back for more. This change likely reflects her growing calf taking up more space in her abdomen, leaving less room for large meals!
Stay tuned for updates! 🤍🖤

Malayan tapir calves have a brown coloured coat covered in spots and stripes help to break up their silhouette and camouflage them in their forest homes. How long do they keep this distinctive look? Only about six months! 🤍🖤

Wondering what our Malayan tapir calf will eat? After birth, it’ll nurse within hours—2–3 times daily. By 2 weeks, it will start eating solids like hay & produce! 🍼

Why the name? While adult Malayan tapirs are known for their black-and-white colouring, their young are born with watermelon-like stripes and spots. These help to break up their silhouette and provide camouflage from predators. 👀

Nutrition is key to growing a Malayan tapir calf and 'Sempurna' receives a healthy diet of browse, alfalfa hay, produce, and herbivore cubes. All food is weighed out to ensure a balanced diet. 🥬
