As someone uncomfortably obsessed with tapirs and impressed by genuinely good production value and your overall sweetness, you got another subscriber from the USA!

[@HalfAsleepChris]

Thanks a lot - Tapirs are the best!

[@avocadoooo186]

Ohh a sub from the US ohhh THE USA why is this so inportant .

[@nomadMik]

Timiboy _HD Because in the US, nearly all media is from the US. If Half-Asleep Chris was a television programme instead of a KZbin channel, they'd try to make a US version, presented by the grandson of that kid that was in Flipper, before they'd assume nobody in the US would watch the normal version, because that they'd freak out about somebody not having an outrageous American accent and about traffic being on the other side of the road. So genuine content from anywhere else seems more special in the US than it does in the rest of the connected world, so an international subscription seems more special to people in the US than to people in Europe, Australia or elsewhere. So I don't think it was meant to be 'ohhh the USA', but actually 'ohhh another country'.

How a legend started!

[@anskeyfamily9064]

I live in Australia, and once when me and my family drove about 10 minutes away from home to go to a friends' house (family friends'), and on the way out, we saw an echidna, and we were like "Wow. That's cool!" Anyway, it feels.. interesting that people see our wildlife in zoos. I once saw a video where someone went to Australia and fed kangaroos, but I've seen so many just out in the wild. I've even seen a singular koala in the wild

[@haileylam6662]

And this is where he started :)

I just discovered this channel recently. It's wonderfully educational. My (adult) son's love it, as do my grandchildren! Funny tapir story; (keepin it short) when my sons were little they had the Tupperware Noah's Ark toy, we didn't know for sure what the white animal was supposed to be.🤔 My oldest son decided it was a tapir. We were the only one's with a tapir in our set, everyone else had a polar bear!😄

I really like echidnas, too, and they seem to like me… I've met seven or eight of them in the wild, in three states. I feel really fortunate for that. And I really like thunderstorms, and since we have two big likes in common, I'll probably go see a tapir next time I have the chance. I somehow missed this video until now, and brought the feelings of happiness and wonder that I always appreciate from yours, and they're especially appreciated in the current crazy world. I hope you and the people you hold dear make it through the epidemic okay.
