A few years ago, thinning was seen and it was easy to get sick, and tests have confirmed chronic kidney disease. We have devised feeding contents and continued medication, but they gradually weakened, and on May 8, it became difficult to eliminate food greed and became difficult to stand, and on May 8, and infusion treatment was performed, but died on the morning of the 9th confirmed.
Due to the death of Roger, the number of Malayan Tapir has been raised to four.

A special public exhibition was held on April 23. Many people applied, and on the day it was only for those who won the lottery on the day.
Despite the hot weather, everyone was very eager to take pictures and notes and ask questions from the staff.
The special exhibition is an important opportunity to directly introduce Preservation and Research Center's business, which is difficult to convey. The next event is scheduled for autumn (may be canceled due to bird flu or new coronavirus infection). We will inform you as soon as it is decided, so please look forward to it.
