Asian plain exhibit - Malayan tapirs exhibit

Behind the tapirs enclosure you can see the big koalas house. On the right, a part of the indian rhinos and malayan tapirs house.

What handicap do the tapirs have? After all, the exhibit appears to be a nice golf course...

Tapirs are keen golfers, they even have a club T-shirt

Don't be deceived by the picture - this isn't a neatly manicured lawn; the planting is fairly 'tall', there's a good pool, a fair bit of space - all in all, a pretty good tapir enclosure.

@Pygathrix: Splendid! Given @sooty's additional picture, they have to train hard, though...

I agree with you !

You must know Sun Wukong that until 2010 this area was a vineyard.So, there were no grass, no trees...
Furthermore, all the trees will grow up and all the vegetation too.

The enclosure will be better in a few years.
