Kevin saw one of these...

While Kevin and Martin were pruning the peach trees this morning, they were throwing the branches over the hill towards the river. All of a sudden, Martin yelled at Kevin to come over. He pointed down the hill and this is what they saw... well, not this exact Danta, as neither of them had a camera (so I had to borrow this picture from the internet). Dantas are a type of tapir. They are very large (they can get as big as 4 ft high and 6 ft long). The one they saw was maybe 3 ft high and 4 ft long... big enough. Dantas are not vicious. They won't bother you unless you bother it.  Martin said it was his 5th Danta sighting on our property in 15 years. They're quite good at staying out of sight, but Kevin is really pleased that he has proof that they exist on the property.
