Baby Tapirs are the cutest baby animals in the world. Instagram: @halfasleepchris Patreon: / halfasleepchris Half-Asleep Chris PO Box 530 Farnborough GU14 4HH United Kingdom
Meet Rony, the baby Malayan Tapir born at Chester Zoo on 18th July. By Christmas, he’ll have mostly lost his spots and stripes, and his white patch will have come through. Isn’t he the cutest thing you’ve ever seen!?
I had no idea such a creature existed! Watching this made me really relate to all those 17th century explorers who were constantly freaking out at exotic foreign animals.
Bit of a weird side note but Charles Darwin (although a couple centuries later) used to eat one of every animal he discovered, purely to find out what it tasted like, included Pumas, Tortoises and Armadillos
@@HalfAsleepChris I've heard that about the Reverend William Buckland (possibly the most eccentric Englishman of the early 1800s, which is saying a lot), who was also known for being able to identify what part of greater London he was in by how the ground tasted. ("Gentlemen: Uxbridge!")
Whoa Whoa Woah. Did you just print out a screenshot and frame it just for one second of a video? If that isn’t dedication, I don’t know what is. Great job!
Tapirs are the most adorable thing known to humans. I am glad that at least one youtuber that i like has a clue of what they are. Loving them is the best bonus i could ever ask for.
Good video bro! I don't comment much but you are one of the rare UA-camrs that I have notifications on for. Keep up the good work and have a great weekend! Much love from Australia. 🙏🏼🇦🇺
When I was a kid I was thoroughly obsessed with tapirs and have millions of printed photos that I had posted on my wall. I love tapirs, thank you for this video 💜
A happy belated birthday to you, Half-Asleep Chris! It's cool that for your birthday, you got this trip, And that the baby Tapir at the end seemed to Do its best impression of being half-asleep too. XD
I live in Chester and go regularly to the zoo (I have a membership), so glad you had a great time! It's such a huge place that you definitely have to go more than once to see all of the animals! My mum loves the Malaysian tapirs and calls them "panda pigs"!
OMG this brought back so many memories!! I was obsessed with tapirs when I was little. Also my cousin called me tapir lip, because my top lip always stuck out, making it look like a tapir snout 😂😂
I was immediately reduced to variations upon ‘aww lookit the cute little stripy’ on the baby appearing, which I think more than proves the point of tapir calves being the cutest babies in the world!
I recently went on holiday to Barcelona and visited their zoo. They had Brazilian tapirs that like to come up to the wall for a back scratch from visitors! I thought of you as I gave one a tickle and would recommend it if you ever go to Barcelona!
I am one of those extremely lucky people who live very close to Chester zoo, and honestly it’s the best thing ever to me. Chester zoo is my childhood and I love it dearly. Easily the most amazing place in the world to me.
Ok, so when I read the title to this video I was like 'Yeah, it's not gonna be that cu... OH MY GOD, IT'S SO CUTE' the title of this video does exactly what it says on the tin. Be prepared for some serious CUTENESS OVERLOAD.

*_wholesome 100_*
Are you high?
Elephants? more like pigs!
Arif yes ehehehehhe wahahahahha Tapirs diverged from elephants during the late cretaceous
elephants : *daniel*
tapirs : *the cooler daniel*
"To fend off those terrifying thoughts of mortality and ageing..."
Cute animals will do that.

@@HalfAsleepChris thanks, I hate that fact.
@@HalfAsleepChris that’s a fun but sad fact lmao
@@HalfAsleepChris wow! That’s interesting! A bit morbid though....
@@HalfAsleepChris I've heard that about the Reverend William Buckland (possibly the most eccentric Englishman of the early 1800s, which is saying a lot), who was also known for being able to identify what part of greater London he was in by how the ground tasted. ("Gentlemen: Uxbridge!")
I had no idea there were so many different types of tapirs! And each with their little walking-watermelon babies?! This is too cute!!
does anyone think the grown up ones look like they are wearing underpants
Tapir is not cute, and Tapirs are not cute
Arif yes ehehehehhe wahahahahha, stfu they are adorable
And its parents looks like an oreo biscuit.
4:01 I might cry that is so precious
Whoa Whoa Woah. Did you just print out a screenshot and frame it just for one second of a video? If that isn’t dedication, I don’t know what is. Great job!

1:17 I was like "OMG! Don't filme while driving!", than I remembered you're from England.
Thanks you, you helped me to find out what felt wrong in the scene xDDD
@@frayien exactly the opposite I was wondering what you thought was wrong
@@yeah2853 then you are weird ...
@@frayien rude lol
@@frayien No, they're not weird, they're just probably from a country that drives on the left side of the road.

Tapirs are great, not the cutest in my book, but your enthusiasm for these animals is just so infectious ❤
Good video bro! I don't comment much but you are one of the rare UA-camrs that I have notifications on for. Keep up the good work and have a great weekend!

Never knew that they could be this adorable 😍

A happy belated birthday to you, Half-Asleep Chris!
It's cool that for your birthday, you got this trip,
And that the baby Tapir at the end seemed to
Do its best impression of being half-asleep too. XD
That. Is. ADORABLE!
I new about them and they are my favourite animals in the rain forest
I live in Chester and go regularly to the zoo (I have a membership), so glad you had a great time! It's such a huge place that you definitely have to go more than once to see all of the animals! My mum loves the Malaysian tapirs and calls them "panda pigs"!
Wow, never realised I had yet to see the cutest baby animal 😍
...also, Happy Birthday!
OMG this brought back so many memories!! I was obsessed with tapirs when I was little. Also my cousin called me tapir lip, because my top lip always stuck out, making it look like a tapir snout 😂😂
A little days ago I saw a mountain tapir ! They are my favorite animal TOO!

Aw Happy Late Birthday! The Tapir is so adorable
Thanks a lot! :)
Cute. So, cute. You, the Tapir... Cute.
You promised tapirs, and you most surely gave us tapirs! Great video, and I hope you had a fantastic birthday!
I was immediately reduced to variations upon ‘aww lookit the cute little stripy’ on the baby appearing, which I think more than proves the point of tapir calves being the cutest babies in the world!
All I could think about: Watermelon with legs 🍉
Glad you had a great birthday!

OMG. A Half Asleep Chris and J.J crossover, now baby tapirs!!? This just keeps getting better and better!!! Have a great weekend!

Your welcome.
I was smiling throughout this whole video, thanks for sharing :)
Aw I love his little nose!
Looks like he’s wearing his pajamas all day 😊
Your animated comparison with the watermelon was "spot on". Well - in a striped way.
Omg hes amazing I want one
I’ve seen the Malayan tapir at the Bronx Zoo, it’s a cool place to visit
I love Tapirs! And when I also see a Tapir fan oh dang I get happy

Happy birthday! Chris
Thank Chris! Completely adorable

I recently went on holiday to Barcelona and visited their zoo. They had Brazilian tapirs that like to come up to the wall for a back scratch from visitors! I thought of you as I gave one a tickle and would recommend it if you ever go to Barcelona!
Happy Birth-Day!!!
I love your channel, your videos remind me so much of children shows back in the 90s, and my 7 month old loves watching animals
It looks so cute, i looks like a mix between an anteater and an elephant

I am one of those extremely lucky people who live very close to Chester zoo, and honestly it’s the best thing ever to me. Chester zoo is my childhood and I love it dearly. Easily the most amazing place in the world to me.
I started a club in my school called the tapir fan club because tapirs are my favourite animals ever and that was a year before this video came out.
SO ADORABLE!
Very good description of them.
Didn’t think they were cute until I saw it run. 😍
THE SNOUTS ARE TRUNKS
The baby is so cute!!!😁
Whoever disliked this video must be blind cause that baby tapir is so CUTE
That’s the cutest thing I’ve ever seen
Well happy birthday keep up the great work!!!!!!!!!!
Tapirs are kind of like cats crossed with horses crossed with elephants, with the most adorable aspects of each.
Awww , sooo cute!, but its still a very great video , and Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday!!!!!!
A REAL LIFE NIFFLER
It's like an upsized Anteater
My daughter loved the Tapirs at Bristol zoo. That was thirty two years ago. Lovely creatures.
Chris, you are incredible - in so many ways! Thanks for sharing!
What a good dog
It’s stripes appear to be going horizontal rather than vertical like most other animals but it is very cute especially when it’s running
I love that animal their so cute
