I don't even know where this came from. I guess I feel people should be educated about tapirs. Also, maybe I'm biased, but I think these guys are very sweet. They have a Malayan Tapir at the Minnesota Zoo, she's been there a long time and is sort of smelly and lumpy, but I like her.
She's part of the Species Survival Plan. Oh they also say this about the babies:
"For the first 6-8 months of their life, newborn tapirs resemble 20 lb. watermelons with legs. They are dark brown to black with alternating bands of yellowish-white stripes and spots."
That's adorable.
Anyways educate yourself. Maybe I'll do more long format info bits on weird animals I like. For no reason.
