wildboyz – world tapir day, april 27, 2008

warning
These webclips feature stunts performed either by professionals or under the supervision of professionals. MTV and the producers must insist that no one attempt any activity performed on the site.

Apparently we missed the timely boat on this great global awareness campaign for the tapir (a piggish mammal of sorts found in the forests of Central and South America with an Indonesian offshoot species), but so it goes here on jackassworld where being a day late and a dollar short is more than a state of mind, it’s a way of business. Regardless, we’re all about celebrating the animal kingdom, so here is our tardy tapir tribute for the day with a Wildboyz encounter starring Steve-O in the country of Belize.

To learn more about the tapir, I’d suggest visiting the official propaganda site for World Tapir Day, www.tapirday.org; however, don’t be fooled by the cartoonishly cute and cuddly rendition of the animal. Similar to the koala of Australia, the tapir is a vicious fucking killing machine that nature has conveniently cloaked in a semi-adorable package—just something to keep in mind the next time you are tromping through the rainforest with a banana stuck in your butt.
