MERSING (Bernama): The Johor Wildlife and National Parks Department (Perhilitan) has rescued a 300kg female tapir caught in a trap set at Felda Tenggaroh 5 here Wednesday (April 29). Its director Salman Saaban said the trap had been set since Feb 17 following complaints from the public about the tapir - said to be in poor health - that was often seen roaming around the area. We received a complaint that the tapir had entered the trap at about 8.30am and the rescue operation was carried out by a 12-member team from Mersing Perhilitan, the Jemaluang Wildlife Conservation Centre and the Johor Elephant Sanctuary.
