Malayan tapirs were first described to Western science by Anselme Gaëtan Desmarest in 1819 - seven years after Georges Cuvier discounted the likelihood of “discovering new species of the larger quadrupeds” - and Baird's tapirs weren't described until 1865.

Whenever I'm a shining knight,
I buckle on my armour tight;
And sometimes when our fights begin,
I think I'll let the Dragons win...
And then I think perhaps I won't,
Because they're Dragons, and I don't.

Just because the bank holiday is over, it doesn't mean the fun has to stop! Head to Broadgate for a bit of music, a spot of dancing and of course, see the man himself with the dragon. Today from 11 am!
