Meet Rony, the new born Malayan Tapir. Rony is now living with its mother Margery and father Betong at the Chester Zoo. These species are only found in Sumatra, Malaysia, Myanmar and Thailand, those are their lands of origin. Their population is currently at risk, mostly caused by the loss of their natural habitat due to deforestation.
