Tapir

Tapir

Tapirs are browsing mammals whose short, flexible snouts help gather leaves and shoots. They live in forested and other vegetated habitats in the Americas and Southeast Asia, with different species occupying different regions. Water provides a place to cool down, move and take refuge. Calves have pale stripes and spots that fade as they grow, and swallowed seeds may be dispersed through their dung.
