Items of Caution
*Take care when using sharp or pointed objects or when using bladed cutting tools. Place a heavy sheet of paper under the paper you want to cut.
*Use glue and other adhesives only in well-ventilated areas.
*When printing, use a slightly reduced font size. There may be differences in dimensions, depending on the type of printer used.
*Cut carefully with cutting blade, Exacto-knife or scissors.
*For folding parts, first use an awl or other pointed tool to make a light crease along the dotted or solid line. This will make the folds straight. Avoid making strong creases, as this will cause the paper to tear.
*As an adhesive, white wood glue is recommended.
Avoid over application as this may cause the paper to wrinkle.
*Before beginning assembly, test adhesive amounts on extra paper.
*Occasionally, white spots will be apparent on folds

Malayan Tapir, Rare Animal
The Malayan tapir, the largest of the four tapir sub-species inhabiting the world, is the only species inhabiting Asia. The tapir is characterized by its black-and- white body color. Its bulky body and short tail give it a humorous appearance.

The Malayan tapir generally lives alone or with its young. Like the young of the wild boar, the newborn tapir has vertical stripes on its body which disappear after
