Yesterday was such a lovely day and so we decided to take Little T to a small zoo not far from where we live. I think this place started out being a pet store that just grew and grew. Anyway, it's a nice little zoo because you can basically walk it in an hour. There are lots of little picnic tables and benches along the way--it's an ideal place for grandparents to take their grandchildren.
What is this animal? A tapir! Tomas wanted to stop and see.
Tomas loves a show called Go, Diego, Go and one of the animal rescues involved a tapir. In fact, there are tapirs galore in Little T's computer Diego game but I have to say that the animals sure didn't look this big! They were little and cute!
One of T's challenges has been to make a sound like a tapir into the microphone. He's not sure what a tapir sounds like and neither am I...and none of these guys gave us a sound sample either. :D

Little T: Way to show off this unusual animal.
cute child and obviously an animal lover
My youngest niece is CRAZY about Diego ;-) This is a fun and great post.
Believe it or not, I did a report on these things when I was in elementary school... why I remember this, I don't know. Probably because I never knew about them until I did! LOL
How cute
Great for CC! This is always an interesting animal to look at.
This is what a tapir sounds like - there aren't too many mammals that sound like them :)
What fascinating and interesting animals. I am always amazed by them!
