Lesser known variety of animals

[Planetepat]

It would be nice to include a lesser known variety of animals ?
To manage less known animals can be cool...

I just discovered the Don Tapir and I had a crush!

 

[Swjosdotschka]

Tapirs in general would be an awesome addition, though. Zoo Keppers love them, as they are very trainable and like to cuddle.

Don is a Baird's tapir born at San Diego zoo, nothing special actually because all the baby tapirs of every species have stripes when young; then at the age of about four months they become solid brown or bicolor (black and white) as the malayan tapir.

Thank you for the accuracy of the information !

If we get Tapirs, I would love to see Tarsiers as well
But be carefull, don't feed them after midnight

Wow, that spotted Lion looks beautiful. I would love the possibility to have one in my Zoo.

I'd like the white tiger (and the servals), because that is more common and is caused by a genetic mutation.

I'm not that fond of a spotted lion, as that is a mix of lions and jaguars and was only done for entertainment purposes in early 1900s (that is why I believe above picture is a photoshop) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congolese_spotted_lion.

ps. Lions are spotted when born, maybe this one never lost his spots.

Some Lions never loose their Spots, but it's extremely rare

True, but it's still just a "lion".

Genetic mutatins with albino animals and stuff is fine by me. The more rare cases (like this) not so much.

Spotted Lion

Are you sure, this is a Lion and no Hybrid? The Spots on the Legs look very dark

sure its a Mutation that sometines comes on Lions and Cougars even in the Wild they never loosing the Spots when they are reaching Adulthood

Most Lions Normally lost their Spots normally at this Age
