Pelosi before the botox treatments.

I do think she was much easier on the eyes back then.

A large browsing mammal, roughly pig-like in shape, with a short, prehensile snout.

Sounds like the endangered Garofalo, known to be an obnoxious pest in proximity to civilization, with a loud, futile mating call that is oddly repulsive to males of the species, which have dwindled to extinction as a result. The sole surviving Garofalo exists in pampered captivity, honking away at anyone who will listen. Few do, outside of her keepers. An apparent evolutionary dead end, that Garofalo. The only hope for continuation of the species rests with cloning, or possible hybridization with Rosie O'Donnell, the closest genetic match known to science.

Interestingly enough, the Japanese believed that tapirs steal dreams...

Looks a bit like this character from Star Wars...

I thought the sightings of this thing would “Tapir” off soon.

Exactly, I knew what the animal was right when I saw it scrolling down without even reading the article.
