It was born in Wilhelma Stuttgart, not Zoo Leipzig

It was born in Wilhelma Stuttgart, not Zoo Leipzig

I thought this may be the second birth (and the first successful one) or am I mistaken?

The first born of this brace died after a few months from a pneumonia in 2023.

The young tapir in Stuttgart has been named Melati.

[zoofanbelgium]

The name of the young tapir from Fuengirola is Tar.

 

[BjoernN]

And TAR is a male?

 

[zoofanbelgium]

No, it's a female.

Tari: the name chosen by the public for the first Malayan tapir calf born at Bioparc Fuengirola.

 

[Kifaru Bwana]

And TAR is a male?

Nope, the youngster is a female!

 

[Nisha]

And TAR is a male?

Female. Her name is Tari (not Tar)

 

[TigerStripe]

No, it's a female.

Tari: the name chosen by the public for the first Malayan tapir calf born at Bioparc Fuengirola.

The article states that Pi is the father of the baby, but I was under the impression Pi was dead and Tari’s father was Mekong?

 

[zoofanbelgium]

Apparantly, it's not Tar but Tari.

In another article they say Mekong is the father.

Tari: the name chosen by the public for the first Malayan tapir calf born at Bioparc Fuengirola.
