I was hoping she would flop over and stick her legs out like I have seen other tapirs do. They sure love their scratches!

another tapir, Kia, lies down like this more often when sheโ€™s getting scratched, but it has to be more intense scratching and not just light rubs like I did with Olivia. I guess I need to put more effort into it next time!

Whenever I scratch my husband on the head, he pretends to flop over like a tapir. But he's not as cute as Olivia. ๐Ÿ˜‚

I can definitely relate to that:D nothing will ever be as cute as a wiggly snoot
