welcome chuckface. there is an online inventory called ISIS, an international data-base that most of the worlds zoos contribute to.
it lists species and numbers, and taronga is listed having just 1 male tapir. ISIS is not updated weekly and relies on the zoos themselves for information but Taronga is very good at maintaining accurate records so im assuming the 1.0.0 isnt a type'o. a spate of animal deaths have been caused over the years at taronga from rats, from lemurs and chimps right through to pygmy hippo. |

Thanks for that Glyn, I'll be sure to check out ISIS. Poor Denise, she was so sick.

One of Taronga's tapir keepers is a member of this site, I'm sure she can tell us more next time she's online.

Unfortunately, Denise died in July this year.
