Zoo Biology, EarlyView.A behavioral study of the nocturnal activity budget and rhythmicity reveals the relationship between lying cycle (LC) duration and time spent in the REM‐sleep posture (“lying – head down”, LHD) in zoo‐housed Lowland tapirs (Tapirus terrestris) and Malayan tapirs (Tapirus indicus). ABSTRACT To ensure and optimize husbandry conditions, zoo management and
