Baird's Tapir at Virginia Zoo-Where are they now?

[Britton]

Hi all,

I am a recent member (just introduced myself in the "Introductions" forum) and I was wondering if any of you guys who are "in the know" might know what happened to the Virginia Zoo's pair of Baird's tapirs. They had a successful breeding record, from what I understand, and I believe they were moved out around '01 or '02 (possibly earlier).

Just wondering!

They (Jake & Jezebelle) were shipped to the Lee Richardson Zoo in Garden City, KS.

Thanks! They were some favorites of mine growing up : )
