1/23/2004: Baby Tapir



Happy Friday! This little girl is a Brazilian Tapir, four weeks old, from the Dublin Zoo.

Tapirs have that strange coloration for the first year of their life. It's meant to camoflage them while they're on the ground of the forest.

Somehow they wound up with four toes on each front paw and three on each back paw.

You want one, sure, but they reach 600 lbs (224 kg).
