Black and white photograph showing President Lyndon B. Johnson, First Lady Claudia “Lady Bird” Johnson, and their two daughters walking away from the White House.  They are surrounded by officials and Secret Service officers.  A crowd of members of the public looks on.  Everyone is dressed solemnly in dark colors.  Flags line their route, and there are bare trees in the background.

Today is November 25 and today's leap is:

Animal of the Day!

Mountain Tapir (Tapirus pinchaque)

(Photo from San Diego Zoo)

Conservation Status- Endangered

Habitat- Andes Mountains

Size (Weight/Length)- 250 kg; 1.8 m

Diet- Leaves; Fruits

Cool Facts- Unlike other species of tapir, the mountain tapir has thick, wooly fur. Living in high altitude mountains, this thick fur protects them from temperatures that often fall below freezing. These solitary animals are most active during the day and spend almost all their time feeding. Standing on their hind legs, they grab leaves with their prehensile nose. Despite their poor eyesight, their hearing and sense of smell are spectacular. However, their large size and extreme living conditions make them a last resort for predators in the area outside of humans. Considered the most endangered tapir species, overhunted for their pelts and uses in traditional medicine, programs in zoos and wildlife sanctuaries are working towards increasing wild populations of mountain tapir.

Rating- 13/10 (One of the scariest skulls in the animal kingdom.)
