The nocturnal creature was caught by camera traps again in the night and wee hours of the morning on several occasions between July and August, which showed it feeding on fallen fruit and tree branches in western Pulau Ubin. Researcher Marcus Chua told The Straits Times: “I was more than excited to see the Malayan tapir appear on my screen when checking the images after we retrieved them from the camera trap.By the time the study ended on Sept 23, five of 41 camera trap stations across the island had captured the monochromatic mammal.
He added: “We will continue to monitor reporting of its sightings and note incidental records through camera traps and signs such as tracks or sightings.” In Singapore, the first documented record of the species was a carcass in a quarry on Pulau Ubin nearly 40 years ago in 1986.
