Some very mixed news from CWP regarding the Brazilian Tapirs.... Unfortunatly Squidge the female was recently put down due to a severe jawbone infection that resulted in her losing most of her teeth. RIP Squidge. On a happier note the replacement male for her mate Timmy who died last year arrived in the last week from Spain. No more details as yet. CWP = Cotswold Wildlife Park
They had 1:1 until Timmy died last year and now Squidge has gone they have 1:0 because of the new arrival.
Just heard that the new Tapir is Gomez born 2006 at Longleat. Sorry for the error in the earlier post.
