Malayan Tapir was born in Preservation and Research Center, City of Yokohama for the first time in 16 years!

Malayan Tapir was born in Preservation and Research Center, City of Yokohama on Monday, January 22, 2024.
Since birth, while the severe cold has continued, we have kept them indoors to stabilize the physical condition of the child, and further strengthened indoor heating so that the child can grow safely.
Currently, more than two weeks have passed since birth, but both mother and child are healthy.
In addition, the body color after birth is different from the parent, but about one year later it will be the same black and white two-tone color as the parent.
Yokohama City Zoo is the first birth of Malayan Tapir in two years since 2022, and Preservation and Research Center, City of Yokohama is the first birth of Malayan Tapir in 16 years since 2008.
