Baby tapir Ume had her first encounter with the water dish and it’s adorable! 🥰

submitted 1 day ago • 25 comments

Another big milestone for our tiny tapir! Ume has her very first tooth coming in and has started mouthing at food and hay. It won’t be long before she’s munching away like mom Yuna! For now, we’re soaking up every adorable moment of her wiggly little nose exploring new items behind the scenes.

They hold hands while sleeping, carry their pups on their chests, and form rafts as they drift together on choppy waters. We love all the adorable ways sea otters rely on each other. 🦦 Like otters, love and community keep us afloat too. Share this post with the pawsome people who buoy your spirits!

How is it possible that baby Ume keeps getting cuter? 🍉 This fuzzy little watermelon is just ten days old and had some zoomies today while trying to nurse from mom behind the scenes. Watch until the end to see 900-pound Yuna roll over so her playful tapir calf can nurse. Such a good mom! 🩷
