He is very sturdy and stands up well. We learned about Sherman from Carol and Mark Reid of Canada. And, when the first shipment arrived, we asked Carol and Mark to suggest names for him. The original Sherman can be seen at the Toronto Zoo in Canada, and the original Lodhran is at Marwell Zoo in England. Both are Asian, or Malayan, tapirs.
All tapirs are endangered species.
Saving tapirs helps save the rainforest.
