Portrait of a Tapir at the Point Defiance Zoo

Tacoma, Washington ~ August 27, 2006

Point Defiance Zoo

This Asian or Malayan tapir appears on a mural at the Point Defiance Zoo in Tacoma, Washington.

Here's the tapir again with a few friends. I enjoyed the surprise of finding a tapir among the other animals in this outdoor painting. The zoo does much to educate their visitors about tapirs.

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