Amazing picture. Not only because of the 4 Tapirs together but also because of the dominant colours.
 
This picture just amazes me, what stops one of the tapirs from jumping down or being pushed down into the public area, this is nothing more than a podium.
Was this taken in the rhino house or elsewhere?
 
If I remember correct there is a narrow pool in front of the public area. There is a drawing of the layout of the rhinohouse, which this is, in a IZY or some German zoo magazine late 60 or early 70-ies.

Well remembered! Here's the plan from IZY 6 (1966): link.

The pool is completely invisible in the photo, but clearly shown on the plan (#3).
