Description Another Malayan tapir commission for a while back. Tapirs are one of my favorite animals! Some day I will make a felted version of every species of tapir. The mountain tapir is perhaps my favorite of them all.

Needle felted wool over wire with plastic eyes.

Like a cross between an anteater and a panda, they're related to rhinos!

Thank you so much! Yes, I adore the lesser known, less fawned over animals too. They are all such fabulous earthlings!
