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)

New baby Malayan tapir (male) born, Feb 12th. I hope he has a long and healthy life -- and that his mom has many more calves.

I made a tapir coloring book... and it can arrive in time for Valentine's day!

What has:
- 104 pages
- Endless dad jokes
- is fun for ages 5-105
- a prehensile snout

AND will arrive in time for Valentine's?

Why, it's a Tapestry of Tapirs!

Links in the comments. Plus, 100% of proceeds go toward charitable contributions and donations.

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.

Malayan tapirs may be able to swim at least a kilometer? (One that was seen in Singapore in July and September 2023 is believed to have crossed over from Malaysia.)

Birth of a baby Malayan tapir (9 minutes in) -- this video was uploaded in summer 2023, though it seems the event may have happened in early August 2020? Narration is in French. It also shows the expectant tapir (Indira) getting ultrasounds, medication, etc. -- a lot of prep and training.

I didn't realize how relaxing it is, to feed tapirs apples! I wish I could do this in my town. (Love the 3D effect of the nose approaching ...)

After a difficult start -- this baby tapir (Lutador) is grown up now. He sired a calf last year (May 2022).

Tapir spa! This lowland tapir gets some well-deserved pampering. Pretty remarkable, that she's in her mid-30s.
