I thought I would share some photos taken on a recent visit to the Cotswold Wildlife Park, at Burford, England (http://www.cotswoldwildlifepark.co.uk/)
Pictured are the 2 Brazilian tapirs who live at the park, Timmy the male, and Squidge the female.
Also included is a picture of me, stroking Timmy. At the park, the tapirs are very friendly and you are able to stroke them, unsupervised, over the fence.
They share their enclosure with a family of capybara.
Squidge and Timmy and had a baby born this year, but he sadly died. Their previous baby, Belita, has now left the park, and I believe she has moved to a collection in Belgium.

Please e-mail your photos and text if you would like to see them on the blog.
