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.

Rony is super cute with his black and white color. You can never keep your eyes off this little four-legged creature. "It's wonderful to hear the pitter-patter of tiny, spotty Malayan tapir feet again for only the second time ever in the zoo's long history. Mum Margery is ever so good with the baby. She's very attentive but also gives him chance to explore and find his feet," Sarah Roffe, the zoo's team manager told in a statement.
