Staff are gradually introducing Ume the tapir calf to water in multiple ways behind the scenes. Adult tapirs are skilled swimmers and use their flexible noses as natural snorkels.

She was a fairy… ✨ Spinning through life like it’s a water ballet. 🦦 Spinning is a natural behavior that helps clean their fur and dislodge trapped air or food. Otters rely on pristine fur for insulation in chilly waters. #pointdefiancezoo #seaotter #shewasafairy #otter #zoo #aquarium

Pool time, but make it gourmet! Ume, our endangered one-month-old tapir calf, is having the best time splashing around in her tub, especially when it’s topped with crisp romaine for snacking. 🥬 At just a month old, she’s already 95 pounds and growing fast. She’ll continue nursing until about six months of age, but she’s also starting to explore new flavors and textures. #endangeredspecies #babyanimals #tapir #behindthescenes #enrichment #pointdefiancezoo #cuteanimals #zoo #animalcare

Ume, the one-month-old endangered tapir calf, decided to help herself to her mom Yuna’s sweet potato. 😆 Watch as she mouths her tasty prize behind the scenes, still figuring out how this whole "eating" thing works. 🍠

More swimming lessons for baby Ume! The one-month-old tapir calf had access to a larger indoor pool behind the scenes, but instead of diving in, she cautiously tiptoed at the edge, curiously testing the water with her wiggly nose. Tapir mom, Yuna, was enjoying her swimming session and encouraging Ume to join (that’s the “hiccup” sound you hear). #pointdefiancezoo #cuteanimals #babyanimals #tapir #behindthescenes #swimminglessons

Ume the tapir calf may not be ready to take the plunge into her big pool just yet, but behind the scenes, she’s having a blast in her baby pool! 💦 She loves splashing around and standing in the water at her own pace. #pointdefiancezoo #endangeredspecies #cuteanimals #babyanimals #tapir #behindthescenes

Sun’s out, wings out! Ruby, our rescued turkey vulture, is soaking up today’s beautiful spring sunshine. ☀️ Turkey vultures spread their wings in the sun, a behavior called sunning, to help regulate their body temperature and kill bacteria on their feathers. 🪶 #pointdefiancezoo #vulture #pnwspring

Baby Ume, our endangered two-month-old tapir calf, is now 130 pounds and growing fast! 💗 She is becoming more brave with her indoor pool, dipping her head underwater and venturing a little deeper. Learning to swim is an important step before Ume can safely enjoy the big outdoor pools in the Asian Forest Sanctuary.

Keepers continue to foster positive interactions with baby Ume by gently giving her scratches and associating specific body parts with verbal cues. This training helps the endangered tapir become comfortable with human touch, ensuring stress-free care in the future. 📹: Keeper Chrissy #ume #tapir #animalcare
