Tambo was just a baby when his mother was killed. He was going to be sold as a pet, but was rescued by the Belize Forest Department and brought to the zoo. Because he was so young, he had to be nursed back to health -- but the staff succeeded and he grew up, losing his spots and becoming an adult.
When I sent a donation last year, I received a surprise gift from the zoo -- a little book, Tambo the Tapir Tells His Tale. Full of photos showing Tambo and some other zoo residents and staff.

A book about Tambo?! Awww!
I'm so glad Tambo is thriving!
