She’s so based

Over 90% of shrimp in the US is imported and farmed (gross). Our shrimp are different - no added chemicals, no preservatives, just pure, delicious, Louisiana shrimp. Wild caught and delivered to your door, these ain't your grocery store's shrimp!

⏸️ Take a 40-second break with Ume, our 7-month-old Malayan tapir calf, as she enjoys a snack alongside her mom, Yuna. 💕 At 350 pounds, Ume still has lots of growing to do before she catches up to Yuna’s 774 pounds! These endangered herbivores are the largest of the tapir species. 📹: Keeper Katie

Baby Ume, our endangered two-month-old tapir calf, is now 130 pounds and growing fast! 💗 She is becoming more brave with her indoor pool, dipping her head underwater and venturing a little deeper. Learning to swim is an important step before Ume can safely enjoy the big outdoor pools in the Asian Forest Sanctuary.

Big splashes for a little tapir! Baby Ume just explored the large waterfall habitat with her mom, Yuna, for the very first time today. The 252-pound endangered tapir calf swam, frolicked, snuffled through the grass, chomped on sticks and snacks, and chirped with pure tapir joy. See 5-month-old Ume and her mom, Yuna, explore the waterfall habitat again this Saturday and Sunday, July 12 & 13.

More swimming lessons for baby Ume! The one-month-old tapir calf had access to a larger indoor pool behind the scenes, but instead of diving in, she cautiously tiptoed at the edge, curiously testing the water with her wiggly nose. Tapir mom, Yuna, was enjoying her swimming session and encouraging Ume to join (that’s the “hiccup” sound you hear).

Another big milestone for baby tapir Ume! 💗 She now has two teeth coming in and has started mouthing at food and hay. 🥬 It won’t be long before she’s munching away like mom Yuna! The rare and endangered tapir calf is 23 days old today. She is growing fast and will soon outgrow her stripes and spots, which will fade around six months of age. Ume and her mom, Yuna, will be viewable to guests later this spring once she gets a little older and the weather warms up.
