Tapir and Pigeon

Probably, I will never be able to repeat this, or make a similar photo.
It is difficult to combine the incompatible. Our, native pigeon and inhabitant of the Amazon - Tapir in one frame. And, dove, in flight. Probably a pigeon it is strange to see a tapir, and it is strange for a tapir to see a dove.

My children were ecstatic. They said it was almost a Jurassic park. An animal whose ancestors saw dinosaurs at close range is cool.

Tapir is a very funny creature. He is rather lazy, I thought so, but when he was called to eat, he rushed to the food with a quick frenzy. He perfectly coexists in one valery with capybaras. About the meeting with these giant guinea pigs, I'll write a little later.

If we reduce all impressions to a single denominator, then, tapir is, according to perception, a big pig, but, instead of a heel, it has a trunk.

Perhaps this is why tapir is an object of hunting and its population is reduced by fans of eating meat, this mini elephant.
