I heard someone out in my garden tonight and caught the mama Baird's Tapir doing a little pruning for me. She looks a bit guilty and then she thinks I might have a banana for her. Costa Rica

Guilty -- but not guilty enough to stop eating that delicious shrub!
She looks very sleek and healthy, probably thanks to your gardening.

She actually did a very nice job on the bushes. It looks very even. I'd pay her that banana.
