  1. tapirus terrestris

    Tapirus terrestris, commonly known as the Brazilian tapir or South American tapir, is a herbivorous mammal species native to South and Central America. It is one of five species in the genus Tapirus and is characterized by its prehensile snout/nose, large body size reaching up to 250 kg, and a thick, brownish-grey skin. They have a lifespan of approximately 25-30 years and are known for leading nocturnal and solitary lives, except during mating and parenting periods. These animals are excellent swimmers and also spend a lot of their time resting and feeding in water bodies. They are often hunted for their meat and hide, leading to a significant decline in their population. Hence, they are considered vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
