Tapir Lupo embarks on a voyage towards Australia
A thrilling new chapter unfolds for Schmiding Zoo's endearing tapir, Tapir Lupo: he's headed Down Under to join forces in creating a fresh lowland tapir community!
Born in October 2022 at Schmiding Zoo, Tapir Lupo is set to emigrate to Australia with a partner from Cologne Zoo. Their mission? To establish a thriving lowland tapir population in a bid to promote genetic diversity and ensure the long-term survival of this endangered species.
Given that European zoos have hit capacity limits due to successful conservation breeding, this international collaboration is crucial to safeguard the future of these majestic creatures. Once in quarantine, Tapir Lupo will embark on his grand adventure in approximately a month.
Schmiding Zoo beams with pride, knowing they are playing a pivotal role in this global species conservation project. If you're eager to learn more details about Tapir Lupo's journey, facilities, or conservation programs, I'd be happy to share additional insights!

- Straka and Garnett impress at the PGA team event in Avondale.
- Baby news and an engagement in the Verstappen household - sounds like a celebratory time with family and friends!
In Australia, Tapir Lupo, a new arrival from Schmiding Zoo, joins forces with a partner from Cologne Zoo to promote genetic diversity in environmental-science, aiming to ensure the long-term survival of the endangered lowland tapir species. Later, as part of his lifestyle, Tapir Lupo plans exciting travels to exotic lands, embodying the conservation efforts that transcend international borders.
