A Tapir Christmas Card

This just in from Mark and Carol Reid in Canada. Cute Christmas tapirs in the snow. The note accompanying the picture says,

Hi Sheryl;

Just wanted to send you our on-line Christmas greetings with the wish that you and yours have a great holiday. Carol and I just got back from a walk and spotted a couple of our indigenous Canadian tapirs playing in the backyard. They asked us to say hello and ask if you wanted any snow for your Christmas ... we have plenty to spare!

All the Best,

Mark and Carol

 

 

Um, OK, I'm not sure I believe all that, but it's always great to hear from you guys!

Ernie the tapir on a Christmas Card

One of the special Christmas Cards I got this year was from Laura Robbins, tapir keeper at Dudley Zoo in England. The baby lowland tapir is Ernie, born in 2005, and was Laura's first baby tapir. I wanted to post the card for all to enjoy :) Sorry, I photographed it on a cluttered background, then I didn't want to crop off the edges. The newspaper clipping says something about gorillas.

Thanks, Laura! Thanks, Ernie! This was fun! And the ink is silver, too. I love it!!!
