Описание к видео Baby Malaysian tapir takes first steps outside - RZSS Edinburgh Zoo

RZSS Edinburgh Zoo has welcomed the arrival of an endangered Malayan tapir calf. The spotty and striped young male was born in the early hours of Friday 20 May to mother Sayang and father Mogli.

The tiny calf was born weighing around 24 lbs, but will likely double in size in the next few weeks, eventually growing up to weigh as much as 900 lbs. Malayan tapir calves are born with brown fur and white stripes and dots, which provides camouflage in the forest. After a few months, Malayan tapir youngsters start to lose their stripes and spots and, by six months of age, they look like miniature adults, with stocky black bodies and white or grey midsections.
