TAPIR TYPE STUFFED ANIMALS

At the moment, that should really just be animal, since I've only made one. Not surprisingly, it's a Malayan tapir. It's no ordinary tapir, though. It's enormous.

It measures about three feet long and two feet tall. I had never made a stuffed animal before, so I didn't have a very good grasp on how to size it.

It's fairly biologically accurate. It has the correct number of toes (14), a tiny tail, and the white-rimmed ears characteristic of all types of tapirs.

It makes a great pillow to lean against on the couch, and it's also very huggable.

The tapir is too big for me to keep, so it's going to be auctioned off at the Tapir Gallery to help raise money for tapir conservation.
