Meet Rony, the baby Malayan Tapir born at Chester Zoo on 18th July. By Christmas, he’ll have mostly lost his spots and stripes, and his white patch will have come through. Isn’t he the cutest thing you’ve ever seen!?
I had no idea such a creature existed! Watching this made me really relate to all those 17th century explorers who were constantly freaking out at exotic foreign animals.
Bit of a weird side note but Charles Darwin (although a couple centuries later) used to eat one of every animal he discovered, purely to find out what it tasted like, included Pumas, Tortoises and Armadillos
@@HalfAsleepChris I've heard that about the Reverend William Buckland (possibly the most eccentric Englishman of the early 1800s, which is saying a lot), who was also known for being able to identify what part of greater London he was in by how the ground tasted. ("Gentlemen: Uxbridge!")
Whoa Whoa Woah. Did you just print out a screenshot and frame it just for one second of a video? If that isn’t dedication, I don’t know what is. Great job!
Tapirs are the most adorable thing known to humans. I am glad that at least one youtuber that i like has a clue of what they are. Loving them is the best bonus i could ever ask for.
Good video bro! I don't comment much but you are one of the rare CZcamsrs that I have notifications on for. Keep up the good work and have a great weekend! Much love from Australia. 🙏🏼🇦🇺
When I was a kid I was thoroughly obsessed with tapirs and have millions of printed photos that I had posted on my wall. I love tapirs, thank you for this video 💜
OMG this brought back so many memories!! I was obsessed with tapirs when I was little. Also my cousin called me tapir lip, because my top lip always stuck out, making it look like a tapir snout 😂😂
I live in Chester and go regularly to the zoo (I have a membership), so glad you had a great time! It's such a huge place that you definitely have to go more than once to see all of the animals! My mum loves the Malaysian tapirs and calls them "panda pigs"!
A happy belated birthday to you, Half-Asleep Chris! It's cool that for your birthday, you got this trip, And that the baby Tapir at the end seemed to Do its best impression of being half-asleep too. XD
I was immediately reduced to variations upon ‘aww lookit the cute little stripy’ on the baby appearing, which I think more than proves the point of tapir calves being the cutest babies in the world!
I recently went on holiday to Barcelona and visited their zoo. They had Brazilian tapirs that like to come up to the wall for a back scratch from visitors! I thought of you as I gave one a tickle and would recommend it if you ever go to Barcelona!
I am one of those extremely lucky people who live very close to Chester zoo, and honestly it’s the best thing ever to me. Chester zoo is my childhood and I love it dearly. Easily the most amazing place in the world to me.
my favorite baby animal is the three toed sloth. I recent;y went on a trip to costa rica were I was lucky enough to see a baby in the wild! fun fact three toed sloths don't have facial muscles so their always smiling! love the channel btw
I went to Chester zoo in august I loved it especially seeing the tree kangaroo and the red pandas and got a glimpse of the lion and lioness from the monorail it was amazing
Ok, so when I read the title to this video I was like 'Yeah, it's not gonna be that cu... OH MY GOD, IT'S SO CUTE' the title of this video does exactly what it says on the tin. Be prepared for some serious CUTENESS OVERLOAD.

Hello

Hello Chris YES he is so cute and reminds me of my cats! YOU G U U D

Elephants: Exist
Tapirs: I'm the better you. But it's okay you're beautiful in your own way.
*_wholesome 100_*
Are you high?
Elephants? more like pigs!
Arif yes ehehehehhe wahahahahha Tapirs diverged from elephants during the late cretaceous
elephants : *daniel*
tapirs : *the cooler daniel*
"To fend off those terrifying thoughts of mortality and ageing..."
Cute animals will do that.

@@HalfAsleepChris thanks, I hate that fact.
@@HalfAsleepChris that’s a fun but sad fact lmao
@@HalfAsleepChris wow! That’s interesting! A bit morbid though....
@@HalfAsleepChris I've heard that about the Reverend William Buckland (possibly the most eccentric Englishman of the early 1800s, which is saying a lot), who was also known for being able to identify what part of greater London he was in by how the ground tasted. ("Gentlemen: Uxbridge!")
I had no idea there were so many different types of tapirs! And each with their little walking-watermelon babies?! This is too cute!!
does anyone think the grown up ones look like they are wearing underpants
Tapir is not cute, and Tapirs are not cute
Arif yes ehehehehhe wahahahahha, stfu they are adorable
And its parents looks like an oreo biscuit.

1:17 I was like "OMG! Don't filme while driving!", than I remembered you're from England.
Thanks you, you helped me to find out what felt wrong in the scene xDDD
@@frayien exactly the opposite I was wondering what you thought was wrong
@@yeah2853 then you are weird ...
@@frayien rude lol
@@frayien No, they're not weird, they're just probably from a country that drives on the left side of the road.
Good video bro! I don't comment much but you are one of the rare CZcamsrs that I have notifications on for. Keep up the good work and have a great weekend!

Tapirs are great, not the cutest in my book, but your enthusiasm for these animals is just so infectious ❤

Cute. So, cute. You, the Tapir... Cute.

Happy Birthday Chris! I'm a new Sub and I really like your videos. Also Rony is adorable!
Sorry I’m so late! Tapirs are so cool! There are so many different Tapirs!❤️🤗
Found the tapir
😂
I was immediately reduced to variations upon ‘aww lookit the cute little stripy’ on the baby appearing, which I think more than proves the point of tapir calves being the cutest babies in the world!
I’ve seen the Malayan tapir at the Bronx Zoo, it’s a cool place to visit
Happy Birth-Day!!!
Aw Happy Late Birthday! The Tapir is so adorable
Thanks a lot! :)
I recently went on holiday to Barcelona and visited their zoo. They had Brazilian tapirs that like to come up to the wall for a back scratch from visitors! I thought of you as I gave one a tickle and would recommend it if you ever go to Barcelona!
Your animated comparison with the watermelon was "spot on". Well - in a striped way.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRIS I STARTED WATCHING ON THAT TAPIR VIDEO!
I love your channel, your videos remind me so much of children shows back in the 90s, and my 7 month old loves watching animals
Thank Chris! Completely adorable
I love Tapirs! And when I also see a Tapir fan oh dang I get happy
I am one of those extremely lucky people who live very close to Chester zoo, and honestly it’s the best thing ever to me. Chester zoo is my childhood and I love it dearly. Easily the most amazing place in the world to me.
Is your Birthday on the 17th too, Chris? That's my Birthday. This was probably filmed ahead of time, but at least we birthdays close to each other.
Mine's the 5th. Happy Birthday for yesterday! :)
Those are so freaking cute! That nose and those eyes
They looked so cute!

Whoever disliked this video must be blind cause that baby tapir is so CUTE
Happy birthday Chris!!🎉
It looks so cute, i looks like a mix between an anteater and an elephant
Really glad you like Tapirs! They've always been may favourites too.
I started a club in my school called the tapir fan club because tapirs are my favourite animals ever and that was a year before this video came out.
Beautiful what a great video and happy birthday
I'm happy to say that I've introduced your channel to my three young children, and THEY LOVE YOU, TOO💜💜
Didn’t think they were cute until I saw it run. 😍
Happy birthday Chris! 🥳🥳🥳🙌🙌🙌

Well happy birthday keep up the great work!!!!!!!!!!
Very good description of them.
Happy Birthday Chris

Tapirs are kind of like cats crossed with horses crossed with elephants, with the most adorable aspects of each.
Omg he looks like he’s wearing a costume he’s so cute!!
Happy birthday! Chris
The red panda is SOOOO CUTE!!!
That’s the cutest thing I’ve ever seen
Happy Birthday! Thanks for sharing another great video. Keep up the great work. ATB : )
It’s stripes appear to be going horizontal rather than vertical like most other animals but it is very cute especially when it’s running
my favorite baby animal is the three toed sloth. I recent;y went on a trip to costa rica were I was lucky enough to see a baby in the wild! fun fact three toed sloths don't have facial muscles so their always smiling! love the channel btw

What a cute potato! Did you know that the tapirs closest living relatives are the horse, zebra, donkey and rhinoceros? 🤯
A REAL LIFE NIFFLER
When I was in year six there was someone in my class who's faverite animal was a tapir
1:18 Danielle shrugging like she specifically arranged for a baby tapir to be born in time for Chris' birthday.
