Tapir
The Museo Argentino de Ciencias Naturales was founded by Bernardino Rivadavia in 1812; the museum had different locations until 1937, when the present building was inaugurated.
The building is an awesome construction, decorated with elements of fauna and flora; the iron bars of the handrails shows snail shells; the main gates show bronze spiders' webs; the frontage shows bas-relieves with animals.
The picture shows one bas-relief with a tapir (Tapirus bairdii), one of the largest mammals of Central and South America in danger of extinction.
