Happy to see this nice tapir here
One of our trail cams captured this Tapir, interés fact is that this same path is commonly used by pumas.

Tapir captured on trail cam
Captured this beautiful tapir walking around with one of our trail cams.

From the 2017 eclipse: "A female Malayan tapir awoke from sleep as the eclipse began and started foraging. As totality commenced, the tapir repeatedly entered and exited her pool until the eclipse ended, a behavior previously never seen by her keeper."
In Hartstone-Rose et al., 2020. The tapir was living at the Riverbanks Zoo, Columbia SC.

I haven't seen any reports yet on tapir reactions to this week's eclipse -- maybe there will be papers coming out in the next couple of years.

The snoring tapir -- next nominee, one of these Malayan tapirs at the Tama Zoological Park in Japan. (Not sure if they actually are sleeping ... the clucking noise heard at intervals is one they seem to make when they're flirting with each other?)

If there are any tapirs living along the path of the North American eclipse next month (Apr 8), they might want to get their viewing goggles ready! (Pic from Europe, 1999)

What has:

AND will arrive in time for Valentine's?
Why, it's a Tapestry of Tapirs!

Hi, my name is Jonathan, and I'm an educator and doc in California. I made educational coloring books about under-appreciated animals, and we use the proceeds from sales to fund donations, community education, and donations.
I'd love for your consideration as we help to educate about these awesome and endangered animals and draw attention to why we all love them so much.
