Remember this day!

On April 2nd at the Brevard Zoo in Melbourne, Florida a beautiful female Tapir was born!

A Baird’s Tapir to be exact! And it is a cutie!

The Baird’s Tapir are an endangered species, so to have another one enter our world is truly a blessing!

It's just a bonus for us that they happen to be so adorable!

Check out more pictures (below) !!!

Someone's been looking at Violet pictures.

Recently, the Howletts Wild Animal Park in Englad welcomed a brand new member to its family!

A male baby Brazilian Tapi!!

And it is a keeper!

Not only because it's adorable, which he totally is, but because he's a sassy little thang!

The folks at the Wroclaw Zoo have a cosmetologist on their hands and they don't even know it!

LOLz!

A baby tapir is enjoying the smothering love from her mama as Sabrina makes sure her babe is clean and safe.

This is Sabrina's ninth baybay, but she is a bit overprotective. Melba is patient though, and lets her mom get her licks.

Sometimes you just can't turn down a free bath from Mom!

There have only been two baby tapirs born at the Prague Zoo and the latest one is TOO PRESCHUZZ!

The babe's mama, Ivana, was only in labor for 30 minutes (Wow!) and this cutie is sticking close to its mama.

Like many animals, the Malaysian tapir is endangered so this birth is AHMAZing for multiple reasons!

Congrats, Ivana!

We know this little cutie and her mama are EXTRA thankful to the Denver Zoo!

Rinny, the mama tapir, had just given birth to her baby boy…but the happy moment turned desperate afterwards.

The babe was trapped in Rinny's amniotic sac, and she tried and tried to free her son to no avail.

That's when curator Rebecca McCloskey and veterinarian Gwen Jankowski literally LEAPED into the tapir area and began tearing away the sac.

A brand new baby Tapir was just born at Zoo Tel Aviv in Israel!

He's the first male calf ever born at the zoo!!

He is only 11 pounds and has the most beautiful coloring.

TAPIRS!!! CUDDLY BABY TAPIRS!!!!!

The Artis Zoo of Amsterdam welcomed the cutest baby tapir August 24th and he ready to strut!

The endangered Malayan Tapir is extremely and has very unusual breeding patterns.

But it looks like this babe is just fine!!! Look at him!!!

GAWRGEOUS!!!
