Soul window?

This photo was taken while the animal, a Baird's tapir, was being scratched and massaged by an affectionate keeper. The species is very nervous, and it was remarkable to watch her slowly settle into being touched in a friendly and gentle manner.

Bird's eye view of tapirs

IMG_0603

My job took me up to a high vantage point above the tapir exhibit, so I had to take a picture.
