We sat near a water hole for a long time waiting this fellow's appearance. This animal is very shy. Camera clicks scared him (loud Nikons). He bolted and then after awhile returned. Thanks for any comments. ENJOY!................... Here's a website where you can learn more about the South American Tapir. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_American_Tapir

I love it when you can see these exotic (to me) animals in a natural environment and not behind fencing. An excellent shot, Jen. Is your photographer friend with you on this trip?

LYTRO. The new light field photography. Refocus your shots AFTER you have taken them. Just click on the word LYTRO. See a VIDEO HERE.

Jen - Your patience paid off handsomely with this photo! While it's not the best looking animal, it certainly commands attention in this fine photo. Well done! Thad

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine The Earth without art is just 'eh'.

I think this is so well captured, and the fact that it is all natural makes it even better. Tigs♥ =^..^=

He probably has a low self esteem. He's not the prettiest animal in the forest. You did a great job photographing him.

I guess I'd be a little shy too if I had a schnozz like that, lol! Well captured Jen :)

He looks as though he's looking for lunch. Good capture Jen.
