    Interesting!

    Although, it seems to me, the tapir is native to Central and South America. How could it have inspired ancient European civilizations? Or am I missing something? 😃

    (P.S.: Like our other classifier, Janet, I'm rather partial to jaguars--favorite animal. This is a South American nature journal, it looks like, so if anyone finds something about the #jaguar -- please tag it for me!)
