🌿 It’s Tapir Time! 🌿 We’re thrilled to announce that Ume, our adorable three-month-old tapir calf, is ready to begin exploring her public habitat at the Asian Forest Sanctuary, starting this Friday at 10:30 am alongside her mom, Yuna! Please note: sightings aren't guaranteed as Ume is still acclimating and will decide when she’s ready to venture out. Just like all little ones, she’s on her schedule! We hope you’ll join us in welcoming Ume to the Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium family. Get ready

Say hello to Ume, our endangered Malayan tapir calf, who recently turned two months old and now weighs a healthy 115 pounds! From wobbly first steps to confident little trots (and the occasional zoomie!), Ume is growing fast and thriving under the watchful eye of her mom, Yuna. Ume still needs to learn how to swim safely, and she’s waiting on warmer weather before making her big public debut. 🌸 | Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium

Big log for a big milestone! 🪵 Ume is now four months old, 214 pounds, and still prefers logs for her teething chompers. The endangered tapir has a new teething log behind the scenes to help her out (and give mom, Yuna, a much-needed break 😅). Ume’s been busy gnawing, nudging, and nibbling away like a pro, growing bigger and bolder every day! 💗 📹: Keeper Katie | Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium

En el Zoo y Acuario Point Defiance de Washington, se vivió un momento emocionante: nació una cría de tapir, la segunda en 120 años de historia del establecimiento. El tapir es un animal en peligro de extinción, por lo que este nacimiento es de gran importancia para la conservación de la especie. "Con sólo un mes de edad, ya pesa 45 kilos y crece rápidamente. Seguirá tomando leche materna hasta los seis meses, pero también está empezando a explorar nuevos sabores", afirmaron desde el zoológico. |
