Tiny tapir makes big splash! Ume, our 3-month-old tapir calf, has officially passed swim class with flying colors! 💦 She took her very first swim while exploring her outdoor habitat alongside her number one swim coach and mom, Yuna. Graceful, determined, a little splashy, majestic water potato. Catch this confident calf strutting out of the pool like she owns the place when she makes her public debut this Friday, starting at 10:30 am. 📹: Assistant curator Erin | Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium

🌟 Ume Update 🌟 Our little Ume isn’t so little anymore! At just 6 months old, this growing tapir calf already weighs in at 334 pounds. From her first wobbly steps to confidently exploring her habitats, Ume continues to thrive under the care of her keepers and mom Yuna. She’s already transitioned from her “watermelon spots” to the sleek, solid coat of an adult Malayan tapir. We’re so proud to watch her grow and grateful you’re following along on her journey. 💗 📹: Keeper Katie | Point Defiance
