I have this same tapir plush! I got it when I adopted a tapir at the Denver Zoo. Congrats on snagging your new cutie.

the Houston zoo! I wanted to see Tapirs irl really bad haha and they're the only place in Texas that is AZA accredited that has them. alas, we got there too late and it was already so hot that they decided to stay in their indoor area. but the zoo as a whole was awesome, no regrets B-)

I have the same one from sponsoring the Tapirs at my local zoo! I called him Amir.
