Tapir ‘checks in’ at hotel


MELAKA: A Malayan tapir wandering about 50km away from its habitat was on the radar of the Wildlife and National Parks Department for two weeks before it “checked in” at a hotel here.

The tapir turned up as an unexpected guest at the Estadia Hotel in Bandar Hilir yesterday, wandering on the premises before it was finally sedated and captured by wildlife officers.
