The video discusses the birth of Valentina, a Central American tapir, at the National Zoo of Nicaragua. It highlights the threats faced by tapirs, such as hunting and habitat destruction. Valentina's birth is significant for conservation efforts, as she represents hope for the species' future. The video also covers tapir characteristics, including their diet and gestation period. The zoo's reproduction project aims to eventually release tapirs back into their natural habitats. Currently, there are about 500 tapirs in Nicaragua, mainly in the Atlantic coast and the jungles of Río San Juan and Matagalpa.
