Mistakes in tapir info are rampant in literature, on zoo signs, etc., and this is only the one subject I know very well.tapirgalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10098235462073493603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25672039.post-40832431901267556702012-01-12T02:00:34.815-08:002012-01-12T02:00:34.815-08:00Interesting post, Sheryl.
