11th Baby Tapir Born At Bandung Zoo Brings Conservation Hope
A baby Tapirus indicus attempts to eat leaves at Bandung Zoo in West Java, Indonesia. The seven-day-old male tapir becomes a center of attention for visitors due to its distinctive striped and spotted coat resembling a watermelon pattern, an important camouflage feature for young tapirs in the wild. The birth of this calf marks the 11th tapir birth at Bandung Zoo, representing a significant milestone in conservation efforts for a species listed as Endangered by the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature).
