A tapir which appeared on children’s TV has arrived at her new home as part of plans to help protect a threatened species.
Tamara the 10-year-old female Brazilian tapir was part of the CBBC programme One Zoo Three which showcases life at Hertfordshire Zoo.
Her arrival at Newquay Zoo, in Cornwall, on 27 April forms part of an international breeding programme to maintain healthy populations of the vulnerable species across Europe.
Dan Trevelyan, head keeper at Newquay Zoo, said Tamara was a “lovely, gentle animal” who was settling in quickly to her new surroundings.
