In 2020 the tapirs Eva and Valente gave us Curumim, the first calf born in the state of Rio in 100 years.
This year, what a joy, Flora and Jupiter gave us another tapir baby! With this second baby, our population is growing. This fills us with pride and confidence in the future where the Atlantic Forest will have tapirs again in abundance. Flora and Jupiter were released in 2018, coming from Klabin's Ecological Park, and since then they are never far away from each other (although they walk alone, as it is normal for Tapirs).
In the camera trap video you see Mom Flora and the puppy, which should have about 6 months. We don't know its gender yet, and he was probably born in January, like Curumin last year.
We know this thanks to the monitoring we do together with @projetoguapiacu, our super partner in the contract to reintroduce the tapirs here at Regua.
We hope the news of this new life will warm your heart!
