Announcing World Tapir Day: 27 April 2008!

What an exciting event! The tapirs are finally getting a holiday of their own! Anthony Long of Australia has been working night and day to put together the first World Tapir Day. This is truly an event whose time has come! It arrives with a new and beautifully-designed web site, some must-have tapir t-shirts, and a conservation initiative to donate funds raised from the sale of merchandise to the Belize Zoo for Sharon Matola's ongoing and ground-breaking conservation work. Please read more about why she can always use funding on the World Tapir Day Web site.

An amazing photo series was sent to us recently from Indonesia, and I wanted to put a link in the blog so it's easy to find. The page has a permanent home in our Tapirs in Pictures section under Asian Tapirs (Photos of Living Tapirs).
