Baby tapir has a delightful pattern of spots and stripes, and like most baby mammals, come complete with big round eyes, and disproportionately big feet. The baby handheld stuffed tapir is hand-block printed on linen. Each is backed with a black and gray print fabric with a damask pattern of turtles, seahorses and other marine creatures. Each is embroidered 'minouette' in red. The baby is about 6 inches long and 4 inches high (15 cm by 10 cm). They are stuffed with cotton-poly stuffing. They are very modern, bold and graphic in black and white with the hint of red.

The Malayan Tapir was once found throughout the tropical lowland rainforests of Southeast Asia, including Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar (Burma), Thailand, and Vietnam. Sadly, like other tapirs, it is now endangered due to deforestation. These were always one of my favorite
