Meet Barney: Linton Zoo's Newest Tapir Calf
A 35 kg bundle of charisma — say hello to Barney, the latest tapir calf at Linton Zoo in Cambridgeshire.

Barney is not just any tapir; he's the latest calf to grace Linton Zoo in Cambridgeshire, and let's just say, he's got more charisma than a tapir should legally possess!
At a whopping 35 kg, Barney is basically a walking, waddling bundle of joy. He's so playful that if there were an Olympic event for frolicking, he'd take home the gold — provided they have a snack break in the middle! This little guy is as inquisitive as a toddler in a candy store, and he's currently in the process of growing into his stripes. Just imagine a tapir trying to figure out fashion — "Do these stripes make me look fat?"
