Tapirs are awesome!

So this blog is solely dedicated to tapirs: lots of tapir pictures, facts about tapirs and some tapir art. Pictures and artwork are not owned by me unless stated otherwise. I try my best to research the facts and to credit the pictures, but please don't hesitate to contact me with a correction!

Why did nobody ever tell me how big tapirs are???

“Size varies between types, but most tapirs are about 2 m (6+1⁄2 ft) long, stand about 1 m (3 ft) high at the shoulder, and weigh between 150 and 300 kg (330 and 700 lb).” –wikipedia
