I think they often go in the water too if there is a pool. Perhaps that is why(from memory) there is no outdoor pool here?- most Zoos with Tapirs give them water, from small ponds to some quite big lakes, to swim in as they are semi-aquatic. But I don't think Marwell have ever done so?

The building is fine- I just thought the pools were ridiculously small the first time I saw it. Presumably that was for ease of drainage/cleaning though. Whipsnade's also seem on the small side too, though not as tiny as at Marwell.
