What's New in Preservation and Research Center, City of Yokohama

Raja from Malayan Tapir, born in Preservation and Research Center, a male 15, died on May 9.
Several years ago, thinning has been seen, making it easier to get sick, and tests have confirmed chronic kidney disease. Although we have been devising the content of feeding and continuing medication, it has gradually declined, and on May 8 it became difficult to eliminate food greed and start up, and infusion treatment was performed, but death was confirmed on the morning of the 9th Did.
The death of Raja resulted in four Malayan Tapir breeders at our center.

A special exhibition was held on April 23. Many people applied, and on the day only those who won the lottery were notified.
Despite the hot weather, everyone was very enthusiastic about taking pictures and memos and asking questions to the staff.
The special exhibition is an important opportunity to introduce the business of Preservation and Research Center, which is usually difficult to communicate. The next event is scheduled to be held in autumn (it may be canceled due to the infection status of bird flu or new coronavirus). We will inform you as soon as it is decided, so please look forward to it.
