Screenshot from Twitch stream of me holding a 3D-printed tapir skull, Hamlet-style ("Alas, poor Tapirus! I knew him, Horatio") In the background of my office are various framed prints of tapir illustrations from wildlife books and scientific papers. Twitch chat is on the right side of the screenshot

Tapir ASMR for #WorldTapirDay, featuring Mom Yuna enjoying snacks! Adult tapirs usually have 42 to 44 teeth designed for chewing tough vegetation.

It’s #WorldTapirDay, and we’re celebrating some of the coolest creatures around — our tapir trio: Baku, Yuna, and their little one, Ume! While Baku lives separately to keep baby Ume safe, he’s still a big part of our tapir family. Tapirs are endangered and need our help.

If #tumblr had to see it than so do you. But you get an actual webm video, rather than four GIFs and an MP3. #tapir #belize #gif #mp3 #webm #australia #WorldTapirDay

A drawing reference sheet for a lilac Andean tapir. The main picture is she walking annoyed in profile, and the two details are the face, with glasses, and the frontpaw, with four fingers. Around her, is the caption "Tapirsona - Tapirus pinchaque by Ground Pear 2022", and the palette. Ivory background with light grey polka dots.

A flat colors drawing of a very cute bright yellow tapir, walking. As reference photos, there is a quindim - a yellow Brazilian-Portuguese dessert - and a lowland tapir. Offwhite background.

Extremely cute simplified drawing of a warm grey lowland tapir, in profile. He has a drawing of a yellow flower in his body. Very light pink background with very light yellow polka dots.

Image from Graham Annable's children's book *Peter and Ernesto: A Tale of Two Sloths*; Ernesto the sloth is gleefully swimming across a river while exclaiming "Splish splash! Splish splash!" In the upper right corner, submerged in the river up to his neck, glowers at Ernesto. The tapir is easy to miss in this illustration, but he becomes important later in the story!

Celebrating #WorldTapirDay w/ this illustration from @grickle.bsky.social's book *Peter & Ernesto: A Tale of Two Sloths.* The _entire_ book tickled me to bits, but when I first read it, I noticed the tapir glowering at Ernesto & was delighted to find he becomes important later in the story ❤️

book review: the tapir’s morning bath Time to catch you up on my reading. Topping the list is The Tapir’s Morning Bath by Elizabeth Royte. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and it also gave me some serious food for thought on the direction ...

Apparently, it's #WorldTapirDay! My life and career have not intersected much with tapirs. This is my rather peripheral connection: bootstrap-analysis.com/2005/10/book...
