    The Netherlands' Artis Zoo welcomed a beautiful baby Malayan tapir named Betong late last month. The adorable spotted animal had a successful birth and was standing on its feet within an hour of its arrival, according to ZooBorns.

    Betong is part of an extremely endangered species, mainly threatened by deforestation for agriculture. That said, the zoo is thrilled by the breeding program's success. Artis Zoo is one of many zoos in Europe that is participating in this program in hopes of saving the rare and unique species.

    After a week, Betong decided he was ready for the spotlight. He excited visitors by making his debut outside of his exhibit for the first time.

    Although he is quite small, baby tapirs can grow up to be 5-7 feet long and weigh 550-710 pounds. Looks like Betong has got a lot of growing to do.

    Not only will Betong grow in size, but his coat will fade into adult coloration four to seven months after his birth. We think he's super adorable all tiny and spotted right now.
