 That's right, mouth to snout. DENVER, CO (Catholic Online) - Rinny, the female tapir needed help giving birth to the calf. Once born, the calf was having trouble freeing itself from the amniotic sac and breathing. That's when zoo staff came to the rescue.
Staff removed the calf from the sac and began mouth-to-snout resuscitation. The baby tapir survived and is now walking and swimming just fine. Zoo officials named him Dumandi, and he is the first tapir calf born at the zoo. There are less than 2,000 Malayan tapirs left in the wild. © 2012, Distributed by NEWS CONSORTIUM. - - - Pope Benedict XVI's Prayer Intentions for January 2013 General Intention: The Faith of Christians.
