Grab Your Trunk and Come For a Visit


Today Tapirgal is going to the zoo to see the animals, especially the tapirs. However it is hard to imagine a trip without visiting the elephants as well. There is much controversy about whether any zoo enclosure is appropriate for elephants, in light of the fact that elephants need such a large range to feel "at home." This can be said of lots of animals, including tapirs and most cats. Zookeepers are sensitive to observing animals who show signs of stress, but stress occurs in the wild as well, where animals must constantly be in search of food and water, be wary of predators, and face constant attack from insects.

Tapir and Friends Animal Store has a wonderful selection of plastic elephants which are suitable for science projects, as collectibles and as party favors. Drop in and see our online zoo.
