Here in the UK we have had much more snow than we have most winters. My son Jonathan decided to fashion this creation which is sadly even more endangered than the real thing.

Hopefully this will brighten up your winter's day!

Best Regards,

Hey, I even see a carrot! Thanks so much for posting this! We're having a cold winter, too, but no snow yet in Astoria, Oregon. Lots of rain, and no snow tapirs! In fact, this may be a first. I've seen a sandcastle tapir done by Sally Woodcock. It seems you English are advanced when it comes to these creations. . . .

More tapirs in the snow

I still don't know if you have to be a member of Facebook to see the photos (I expect so, maybe someone will tell me), but Laura Robbins has another fun album posted with some super nice pix of tapirs in the snow (snow album part 2) and the incredible Dudley Castle also in the snow. There are also meerkats, reindeer, a red panda and more. Have fun :) If you're not a Facebook member, it might be worth it to join.
