So I thought I'd share it here...
This lowland tapir calf (Tapirus terrestris) was born July 8th 2026 at the Hertfordshire Zoo (@hertfordshirezoo.bsky.social) & is getting some scritches for his itches. Babies have these watermelon stripes to aid in camouflage on the forest floor, but they disappear after ~6 months.
