For #WorldTapirDay my #linocut Malayan tapirs, adult and baby. There are four types of tapir; this linocut is of both an adult and baby Malayan tapir. Tapirs always look very dapper, if improbable, in their black and white coat. The adults with their white saddles look like an aardvark crossed with an elephant, wearing a tuxedo.

* The Malayan Tapir's black & white coloring is called disruptive coloration. It breaks up their body shape & helps them hide in the forest shadows.
* Malayan Tapir are the largest of the 4 tapir species
* Malayan Tapir can weigh up to 800 pounds & be 6-8 feet long, so it must be hard for them to hide!
