World Tapir Day
-- World Tapir Day exists to raise awareness about the species of tapir inhabiting Central and South America and Southeast Asia and to raise funds to purchase land to protect it from human encroachment. All tapir species face the threat of extinction. Saving tapirs helps to save rainforests and other habitats, thereby helping to save the planet and mitigate the effect of climate change.
Read: The Tapir Scientist: Saving South America's Largest Mammal
-- If you have never seen a lowland tapir, you are not alone. Most of the people who live near tapir habitat in Brazil's vast Pantanal (the Everglades on steroids) haven't seen the elusive snorkel-snouted mammal, either. In this arresting nonfiction picture book, Sibert winners Sy Montgomery and Nic Bishop join a tapir-finding expedition led by the Brazilian field scientist Pati Medici. Aspiring scientists will love the immediate, often humorous you are there descriptions of fieldwork, and gadget lovers will revel in the high-tech science at play, from microchips to the camera traps capturing the soap opera of tapir life.

• Wild Republic Tapir Plush -- Did you know this unique looking animal that looks like a combination of a pig with an Elephant trunk is actually related to horses and Rhinoceroses? A group of these endangered mammals is called a candle. Made of high-quality materials that give it the lifelike appearance and the ability to be surface washable. Each plushie has an interesting and fun fact tag attached to the amazing animal you have chosen to bring into your family. Share your love for wildlife and spread the word that just like this Tapir, animals are becoming endangered or even worse, extinct.

• Baby Tapir Plush -- Quality Detailed Item. European safety standards EN71 BS5665. Surface washable. Carries the CE label so it safe for children (not under 36 months)
