      Tapirs must be one of the easiest animals to sex!
    • skoop102
      Yes, you should see the photo I took 5 minutes before, you could really tell he was a male then! Let's just say Colin was very pleased to see Madge.

      how old are the tapirs?
    • skoop102
      Colin the male has since died (aged about 10).
      Madge the female is about 6 or 7 I think
    • dragon(ele)nerd
      when did he die? Soon after madge was confirmed pregnant??

      What is the deal now with Malayans at Twycross.
      Will Madge be re-paired and what about breeding?
    • zoogiraffe
      As far as I know nothing has been decided yet as Madge has a zoonotic virus and the zoo as a waiting to see what the studbook say.

      I didn't see a Tapir at all on my visit in September. Is she still there? What happened about the pregnancy?
    • taun
      She was there on my visit in October, I only saw her on the way out. :(
