Tapirs, what did ingenious thing, because so many people don’t know what a tapir is and they look kinda, not only weird, but it’ll maybe free a story. And we had a tapir when I first came to Topeka, (chuckles) a tapir named George. I was kinda surprised to see a tapir in this zoo, but that’s where Mr. Hale came in. He went to some zoo conference and some zoo had a tapir. And they didn’t, an extra tapir, surplus. So he got it for Topeka, but it was in an outdoor yard with a little shelter. And it was this mesh, not chainlink, but just a farm fence, and no guard rail. You could stick your hand in and pet him.
