    San diego is listed as having a tree pangolin I take it that this is another inaccuracy?

    Also, how many tapirs does the zoo have? It is listed as having 4.3 of tapirus indicus indicus and 0.3 tapir indicus. The wild animal park is also listed as having 0.1.

    I guess so, there are so many mistakes at ISIS, so be careful with them.
    In 2005, i've seen also two Bairds-Tapirs at San Diego Zoo, together with capybaras.

    According to the latest Zoonooz (SD's member mag), they have 1.3 Tapirus indicus at the zoo and they don't mention any at the park. They also have 1.1 Tapirus bairdii

    ISIS is hugely unreliable, as there are countless irregularities on the site.
