Awwww - baby critters - Tapir

Can you believe how stinking cute this little one is?


Evidently they are super endangered and this is the first to be born at the Minnesota zoo in 20 years!  :)  I think mama tapir deserves a medal - 419 days is a LONG time to be pregnant.

Look at those adorable baby tapir feet:



You can click either photo to read the blog post about this little girl - or you can watch the live Tapir cam at the Minnesota zoo to see what she's doing real time:

I have grown kinda attached to this little one and her mommy - I check in on them via web cam to see what they are up to - its fun to watch....
