Tapir

He’s grown.

Dublin Zoo writes:

“The male calf, born on July 1st to mum Rio and dad Marmaduke. Tapir calves are born with a number of white spots and stripes which act as camouflage in the wild. These spots and stripes mimic the dappled sunlight on the forest floor but these markings will disappear by the time the calves are about six months old.”

The little fella is still unnamed. Dublin Zoo is inviting suggestions on its Facebook page.
