4/26/2002: Saved tapir
Happy Friday. These beasts are called "tapirs". The momma there is named "Conchita" and the baby is "Carmina".
This was the first birth of a Tapir at the Hannover (Germany) zoo. But when Carmina came out, she wasn't breathing. The zookeeper stepped in and performed mouth-to-trunk resuscitation and saved the baby.
The Tapir pregnancy, it turns out, is 18 months long! Guh!
The little one is doing fine.

Tapirs are awesome! I like how the baby's got stripes 'n' spots.
I think those are the same things they had in the Walt Disney World Animal Kingdom, the Asia area, but I'm not sure.

I'm assuming they lose the stripes and spots after a while? How long?
