Ume, the tapir calf, is growing bolder in the water. In one attempt, she ventured completely into the pool, paddling for a few seconds before quickly hopping back out. This marks the first swimming session where she has gone beyond the top step and fully submerged herself, a big milestone in Ume’s swimming journey. 🎉 📹: Assistant curator Erin | Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium

🌟 Ume Update 🌟 Our little Ume isn’t so little anymore! At just 6 months old, this growing tapir calf already weighs in at 334 pounds. From her first wobbly steps to confidently exploring her habitats, Ume continues to thrive under the care of her keepers and mom Yuna. She’s already transitioned from her “watermelon spots” to the sleek, solid coat of an adult Malayan tapir. We’re so proud to watch her grow and grateful you’re following along on her journey. 💗 📹: Keeper Katie | Point Defiance
