Family meeting! 💕 Did you know tapirs use squeaks and whistles to communicate? 💬 8-month-old Ume has lots to say when she’s catching up with her parents, Yuna and Baku behind the scenes.

Big log for a big milestone! 🪵 Ume is now four months old, 214 pounds, and still prefers logs for her teething chompers. The endangered tapir has a new teething log behind the scenes to help her out (and give mom, Yuna, a much-needed break 😅). Ume’s been busy gnawing and nibbling away like a pro! 💗

The endangered newborn tapir calf is still very eepy. 💤
