Tapirs Drop Name Change Petition After Court Setback
Tapirs at the Longleat Safari Park in Wiltshire, England have dropped their four-year battle to officially change their species name from “tapirs” to the more descriptive “really big awesome pig-like things.” District court judge Alistair Templeton threw out the petition for name change after several failed appeals.
A spokesperson for the tapirs said that this was the group’s last attempt.

Siku, the polar bear cub born in November at a Danish zoo, is a media darling and rising star on YouTube. Because the cub’s mother failed to produce milk, he will need to be raised by zoo staff and require 24-hour attention for the first year of his life. Officials at the Scandinavian park say he is healthy, but that it takes three zoo keepers to provide the necessary care.
