"Jessy" Malayan Tapir

Malayan Tapir is one of the most endangered animals in Malaysia and one of them is in the National Zoo of Malaysia. Malayan Tapirs are herbivores and eat primarily grasses, aquatic plants, buds, leaves, and soft twigs. Their diet at the Zoo normally consists of Bermuda hay, alfalfa, herbivore pellets, leafy greens, carrots, apples, and a tapir-favorite—bananas. Not many people knew about this animal so that's why we decided to adopt Jessy so the zoo can maintain the Jessy’ food, enrichment, and veterinary care.
