For #WorldTapirDay my #linocut Malayan tapirs, adult and baby. 🧪🐡 There are 4 types of tapir; this is an adult & baby Malayan tapir. Tapirs always look very dapper, if improbable, in their black & white coat. The adults with their white saddles look like an aardvark crossed with an elephant, 🧵1/
wearing a tuxedo. The babies have a delightful pattern of spots and stripes, and like most baby mammals, come complete with big round eyes, and disproportionately big feet.
The Malayan Tapir (Tapirus indicus), also called the Asian Tapir, is the largest of the 4 species of tapir & the only one 🧵2/
native to Asia. The Malayan Tapir was once found throughout the tropical lowland rainforests of SE Asia, including Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar (Burma), Thailand, & Vietnam. Sadly, like other tapirs, it is now endangered due to deforestation. 🧵3/4
These were always one of my favorite animals to visit at the zoo and I hope that they not only survive, but flourish in the future.

you know those illustrations in some anatomy books where they show the difference between the proportions of a baby and an adult and have an adult drawn with the proportions of a baby to show how weird and messed up it would look

A: A baby says to you--
B: Stop right there. How old is this baby? This baby can really talk? Does it speak with an adult voice or a little baby soft palate voice with slurring and spittle everywhere? Does the baby walk, like on little bowed squishy legs? Is it wearing like an adult-style suit?
Tree is down but here’s one last look at an ornament given to me by one of the people who knows me best. Wishing all the tapirs and tapir fans out there a happy 2024!
user icon update: back to being a baby tapir, but a DIFFERENT baby tapir.
This is my personal Mandela moment, because there was baby duck and baby chick, adult duck and teenage chick, and adult duck and adult cockerel, but no time when there was a baby chick with an adult duck
I'm in a zoom meeting at work in just a thick diaper and a t-shirt. How cool is that as an adult baby that I can do that, while, grown-ups, adults and big kids have to dress for a meeting. Whereas me, being an adult baby can dress like an adult baby for a meeting.
A tapir TF sequence I made earlier this month. Tapirs are underrated. #TFTuesday #transfur
Well, the cats kinda look like they’re wearing a tux - very dapper! I think of: Mostly black with a white star on the face, white on the neck and chest.
Oh my god the adult and the baby in the bottom left with their noses.
