This is Mayo, a baby male mountain tapir which is now being hand raised at the Cali Zoo. Hopefully he will bring hope to the survival of the species in captivity in the near future.
Just to clarify a little bit, and I´m sorry I didn´t say this when I originally posted the picture, but the baby is wild born. I don´t know the full story but apparently someone killed the mother and then saw the cub, so it took it to the environmental authorities which later sent it to the zoo. Hopefully now that he is completely unrelated to other mountain tapirs there might be a chance of giving the genetic boost that the species needs in captivity.
