This is a photograph of a tapir in a zoo enclosure. The tapir is standing on a concrete floor. The enclosure is painted in seafoam green, with chipped paint. The walls are plain, with a pile of hay in one corner. A heat lamp hangs above, casting a warm glow on the floor. Black metal railings separate the viewer from the scene inside.
