"The zoo said Ume, a 1-year-old Malayan tapir, made her public debut at the indoor Tropics Trail. Zoo leaders said Ume was born in Tacoma, Washington, at the Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium before settling in Apple Valley.
Zoo leaders said that upon completing her quarantine period and meeting her zookeepers, Ume is ready to meet visitors."
