We may not have a polar bear swim, but we do have a tapir swim! Tapirs 💩 in the water to mask their scent from predators. The seeds they've eaten previously then travel down stream and get dispersed to other areas of the rainforest to help new growth. 🌳 📸 Alyssa Nycum | Nashville Zoo

The calf is growing quick, at two week's old she's nearly doubled her weight, coming in at 29 pounds. She continues to have daily swim lessons, and has started testing her buoyancy. She has lots of energy and enjoys running circles around her mom. The calf is even starting to eat alfalfa. | Minnesota Zoo | Facebook
