    I’m so sorry, Mr. Tapir, but I’ve got all these pirates to kill, and I have equipment needs…

    There is a wonderful “true facts about the tapir” video… which for some reason I am unable to link.

    Something around the eyes reminds me of Liam Neeson. (I genuinely am not intending any commentary about Neeson’s nose with this.)

    I can see that, the resemblance is quite remarkable. That’s pretty cool.

    Hooray! Tapirs are my favorite animals, and I love the increase in recognition that they’ve been getting in the last few years. Thanks for highlighting World Tapir Day, PZ!

    I think the particular tapir pictured here is Sayang, one of the Malayan tapirs at the Edinburgh Zoo. Here she is as a baby in 2003.
