Any new info on Malayan Tapir?

Hi all!

Curious whether any new information has emerged on how/whether Malayan Tapir can be found. I see that two years ago the consensus was that the only useful hide at Taman Negara was closed, and then that last year there was mention here of having seen the animal at a hide again, without further details.

I’m heading to Malaysia for a short family trip next week and likely won’t make it to Taman Negara in any case, but would like to know what I’m missing on if so, haha. And thinking it might benefit someone else to collect here whatever info we collectively know about it at this point.

Cheers,

Evan

    You can contact Andrew Sebastian at ajsebastian@hotmail.com, he can organize with local guides to a hide outside taman negara where they are seen. When i contacted him months ago not many people had used it so not sure about reliability but it was quite pricy for a hail mary attempt, he might have better information now if more people have gone. Good luck!
