With its flexible trunk-like snout, the tapir slips through dense jungle like a quiet gardener, plucking leaves and floating downriver to cool off. Four surviving species, from Amazon to Malaysia, share nocturnal habits and face rising threats from logging and bushmeat hunting.

Habitat: The Tapir can be found in Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa-rica, Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Brazil, Guyana, Suriname, Argentina, Paraguay, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Myanmar
