Yuna, our pregnant tapir, is enjoying some behind-the-scenes private bath time and resting when needed. Staff can see the baby moving around, and Yuna’s recent ultrasound revealed healthy movement and heartbeat. Yuna and soon-to-be father Baku are part of the Species Survival Plan, a managed breeding program for endangered Malayan tapirs. After a 13-month gestation period, a single tapir baby, called a calf, is born—twins are very rare. 📹: Keeper Chrissy | Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium
