Investigation reveals cause of death of 2 Malayan tapirs at Denver Zoo

We all know that tapirs are terrific, but did you know they have super snouts? They use their flexible nose - known as a proboscis - to grab things like fruit, leaves, and other food items.

These shy, snouty forest dwellers are essential to healthy ecosystems — yet all four tapir species are either endangered or vulnerable. You can visit Tapirs at the following American Humane Certified™ Zoos: Brookfield Zoo Chicago & Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance. | American Humane

The Linne’s two-toed sloths aren’t the only new residents in Tropical Discovery! Say hi to Roy and Rebecca, our new capybara pair. Roy has the blue and orange stripes on his back, and Rebeca has a black spot. The coloring was used to identify them at their old home, and will fade over time.
