An endangered baby animal that looks like a fuzzy “walking watermelon” was born at a Washington zoo. The white striped and speckled Malayan tapir calf was born Feb. 2 at Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium in Tacoma, the zoo said in a news release.

Keepers say they are "thrilled" by the arrival of the little one, which was born covered in unique white spots and stripes.
