The Denver Zoo announced the newest member to the park Wednesday: a baby Malayan tapir.

The endangered species is native to Asia.

Baku was born to mother Rinny and father Benny late in the evening April 29, according to a news release from the Denver Zoo.

Baku will remain behind the scenes in Toyota Elephant Passage while being cared for by his mother until the animals are comfortable to come outdoors, according to the release.

However, visitors can still see Baku on monitors inside Toyota Elephant Passage.

“Baku” is the Japanese word for tapir.

With a wild population of fewer than 2,000, tapirs are classified as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature because of habitat loss and hunting.
