Omaha had a birth late last summer as it was noted in the Fall 2021 ZooPrints newsletter. I had not seen any other confirmation of this birth until I saw the calf on exhibit for the first time yesterday, on February 6th.

The name and gender of this calf is unknown at this time, we do know that the parents are Dumadi and Malacca.

So as of this moment, Omaha should have 1.2.1 at the zoo.
 
As of last month Kruze at San Antonio was no longer on display, with all signage removed and the exhibit vacant. I’d imagine given his age and condition he probably passed away. Although no announcement has come from the zoo.

He is deceased.

Bintang at Woodland Park Passed Away 8-15-2023
Woodland Park Zoo had to make the difficult decision this week of euthanizing its only male Malayan tapir, Bintang, due to age-related decline. Male tapirs have a life expectancy of 19 years in zoos. At 23 years old, Bintang was geriatric.
 
Hello, I apologize for commenting here, I couldn't find a better place to post this.
Speaking of Malayan tapirs, does anyone have any information about the pair sent to São Paulo Zoo by Saint Louis in the 1970s?
The only facts I was able to gather revolve around their transport to Brazil.
One of the animals, due to a mistake made by the American zoo, died due to complications arising from the dimensions of the box it was kept in.
Because the death was caused by the Saint Louis Zoo, the insurance company refused to pay for the tapir's death.

(0.1) Malayan tapir named Sempurna will be transferred from the Woodland Park Zoo in Washington to The Calgary Zoo in Alberta?*

A (0.1) Malayan tapir named Binti was born at the Ellen Trout Zoo in Texas on July 17th.

We are so happy to announce... - Ellen Trout Zoo [official]
It's official... meet Binti!... - Ellen Trout Zoo [official]

* @Haley can you confirm this transfer is still happening or has it already happened or has it been cancelled?
It's now listed as an "AZA institution in Canada", so it could be Calgary, but Sempurna could also be sent somewhere else:
