Description

The Malayan Tapir (Tapirus indicus) is native to Southeast Asia. It is also called the Asian tapir or Indian tapir. It is easily identified by the light-colored patch running from its shoulders to its hindquarters. The rest of the body is covered in black hair, though the tip of the ears have white rims. The eyesight is poor but the smell and hearing is well developed. The front feet have four toes and the back feet three toes. The tail is small and stubby, while the proboscis, like on other tapirs, is long and flexible. It is mostly found in tropical terrestrial rainforests and is the least aquatic in the Tapiridae family.

Tapirs belong to the Tapiridae family, a group of large, herbivorous mammals recognized by their distinctive snouts. These prehensile snouts are akin to a shortened elephant trunk, aiding in foraging for leaves, fruits, and branches. There are four species of tapirs.
