yay! the world is right again. i'm sure that's cured something...

i love watermelon babies as much as the next guy (if the next guy is my clone), but not as much as i love animals riding other animals. especially when the base animal is surly.

p.s. i realise how tenuous that link was but i had to find some way to share my love of animal jockeys without having to draw two animals in one

day one - tapir

good eve. i have just scraped in for day one.

to start things off we have a watermelon baby - possibly the finest of them all. watermelon babies are so named for their delicious fruity taste (the striped coat is merely coincidence...)

this guy is a baby tapir but baby emus, ostriches and wild boars are also part of the gang. malayan, mountain and brazilian tapirs all have these stripy little suckers despite looking wildly different when they grow up.

ahhh cute.
