Tapir calf takes his first steps at Chester Zoo

A Malayan tapir calf, named Solo, has taken his first steps outside at Chester Zoo. At just over three weeks old, tiny Solo revelled in his very first outdoor adventure under the watchful eyes of his mum Margery. The tiny youngster, who is the first of his species to ever be born at the zoo, paraded around showing off his dark brown coat covered in white spots and stripes. Juvenile Malayan tapirs lose those patterns in the first year of their life and develop their adult coats, with one half of their bodies black and the other half white.
