At home on the hillside

Not caged, this little tapir freely roams the hillside at the Baños Zoo in Ecuador. The youngster may be a lowland tapir hybrid. The mother looks almost like a lowland tapir, but not quite the norm. She may be a hybrid herself. The photo was taken at the Baños Zoo in Ecuador.


All tapirs are endangered species.
Saving tapirs helps save the rainforest.
