Happy Wally Wednesday! World Tapir Day is this Saturday and we wanted to share Wally’s journey with everyone. Wally came to us from another facility at 6 weeks old when his mother was unable to raise him. Wally was bottle fed 3 times a day for about 10 months by our care staff! He was a big growing baby who enjoying hanging out with the horses next door! He know lives with his bff Amy and they love frolicking in the field and playing in their pond.
