Chester Zoo Celebrates The Birth Of Rony, An Incredibly Rare And Extremely Adorable Malayan Tapir

Do you know that the Malayan tapir is an endangered species? There are estimated to be less than 2,500 individuals left in the wild. They distribute in Malaysia, Thailand, Sumatra, and Myanmar.

That's why the birth of any Malayan tapir is worth celebrating. And recently, the Chester Zoo has got that luck. An incredibly rare and extremely adorable Malayan tapir was born here. The newborn animal was named Rony and weighed around 11,2 pounds. He was born after 391 days of pregnancy to his mother Margery. His father is Betong.
