A rare baby Malayan tapir has made her debut at Tokyo Zoo. At two weeks old she weighs 8 kilograms, walks freely around her mother and pretends to eat solids, though she's not yet capable of doing so.
Baby tapirs are born with a distinctive white stripe and dot pattern on their fur, which gradually disappears after about five months.
