The natives of South America, who are currently living in Feldman Ecopark, settled in the new spacious and comfortable home.
“We have made the new enclosure comfortable specially for Dalma, the tapir female and three capybaras. It is more spacious, filled with light and it is much better for these animals. Tapir and capybaras get on with each other perfectly, and it will be definitely better and more comfortable for them in it,” Feldman Ecopark’s deputy director of zootechnics Valeriia Ivashchenko told.
The new enclosure for the tapir and capybaras is near the enclosure with African spurred tortoises.
It should be reminded that a three-year old tapir named Dalma arrived in Ecopark within the framework of the programme of preservation of rare species of animals from Szeged zoo (Hungary), which Feldman Ecopark cooperates with under the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA). Capybaras appeared in the animal collection of Feldman Ecopark after they were transferred from Riga Zoo within the framework of the programme of cooperation aimed at preservation of rare species.
