Got a little kick out of addressing this envelope to the "Hooves and Carnivore Team" at the Twycross Zoo in England (winners of my Paper Tapir Challenge). If I weren't working diligently in a one-woman art dept, I'd definitely want a desk next to those fine folks...

Hooray! So glad you received the package, and that you love the work - I hope you'll take some time to read to the tapirs! :) Cheers!

That's a very nice illustration of Baird's Tapir. I saw one recently at the San Diego Zoo in their Elephant Odyssey exhibit. This exhibit compares a variety of living animals to extinct ones. They gave a comparison of Baird's Tapir with an extinct California Tapir. I recommend it if you get out to San Diego; I also posted a summary: http://paleo-tourist.typepad.com/the-paleo-tourist/2012/02/elephant-odyssey-in-san-diego.html.

Thank you Dave! And your post is extremely timely - I'm headed to the San Diego Zoo next month! I'm making lots of room for drawing supplies in my suitcase - I haven't been to that Zoo since I was pretty little, and I'm very excited to see it all again. Thanks also for the link to your blog - what wonderful content!
