𝐂𝐔𝐋𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐎𝐋𝐎𝐆𝐘 on Instagram: "A rare albino Baird’s tapir caught on camera deep in the Belize Maya Forestan; an extraordinary sight in one of Central America’s richest ecosystems. Tapirs play a vital role as “gardeners of the forest,” dispersing seeds and helping the rainforest thrive. Albinism in tapirs is extremely rare and results from a genetic trait that both parents must carry, making each sighting a testament to the forest’s hidden wonders and genetic diversity."

Baird’s tapirs are known to love water. In the wild, these tapirs spend hours each day in the water to keep cool and remove harmful parasites, including ticks. A fun fact about the Baird’s tapir is that they can dive under water for several minutes, holding their breath, while their prehensile snouts also function as a snorkel. Cool, right! Check out Tootsie diving for tasty enrichment, provided by her animal care team. 📸: Animal Keeper Shandyn D. Grab your tickets today at www.lazoo.org to see

It’s a powerful reminder of why the Osa Peninsula is considered one of the most biodiverse places on Earth. A truly unforgettable moment for all who were there! Thank yo

Follow your nose! For a Baird's tapir this is the best advice. Tapirs have a prehensile proboscis 👃 that allows them to navigate bark on branches, and grasp grasses. Check out our terrific tapir Tupi as he uses his flexible snout to grip the branch, then tear the bark off with his teeth. Thank you animal care specialist Tessa for capturing the moment! 📹 #Tapir #BairdsTapir #ReidParkZoo #EndangeredSpecies | Reid Park Zoo

This rare footage of a mating pair of Baird’s tapirs—Central America’s largest land mammal and an endangered species—was captured deep in the Cloudbridge Nature Reserve. Moments like this are only possible thanks to the presence of functioning camera traps. But the current project is in urgent need of rebuilding. We’re partnering with The Wild Cat Imaging Project to relaunch and expand the camera trap program at Cloudbridge, creating a robust system to monitor elusive species like jaguars, pumas

We are celebrating the amazing tapir today, and honor our own male Baird’s tapir, Pacha, on this World Tapir Day! Known as the “gardeners of the forest,” tapirs are herbivorous and play an important role in ecosystem health as seed dispersers where the four species of tapir are found in rainforests, cloud forests and swamps of Central and South America as well as Southeast Asia. As odd-toed ungulates, they are also evolutionarily related to rhinos and horses (and not pigs). Tapirs are endangered
