  1. Such a strange yet funny animal. I hear that in the wild they are almost impossible to spot. Posted 12 years ago

The South American tapir, Brazilian tapir, lowland tapir or "anta", is one of four species in the tapir family, along with the mountain, the Malayan, and the Baird's tapirs. It is the second-largest land mammal in South America, after the Baird's tapir.
