My favorite animal, which is at the Bronx zoo is called a 'Tapir.' You can Google an image of him; or youtube him...

The CP zoo polar bear died last year. They have a really nice penuin exhibit; as well as sea lions, birds (boring) and other stuff... I miss NY as I am in NJ for now...

Ohhhh. I love tapirs. They don't look quite real to me. Like they were thought up by Jim Henson or someting :p

Tapir is a gentle animal; although funny looking. Most people are unaware of them. They are from Malaysia...and are adorable...

How are you aware of them??

Tapir!!!
