Baird's Tapir

Species principle: Dual Passage

Browse both worlds.

One tool becomes wisdom when it works on land and in water.

Baird’s Tapirs use flexible snouts for browsing and are strong swimmers, moving through tropical forests and rivers while feeding on leaves, fruits, and aquatic vegetation.

Common Murre

Species principle: Two-World Discipline

Stand the cliff, swim the sea.

A life between cliff and sea demands discipline in both.

Common Murres breed in dense cliff colonies and dive underwater using wing-propelled swimming to pursue fish in cold seas.
