South American Tapir – Signed Fine Art Print

Information about the South American Tapir:

The South American Tapir – also called the Lowland or Brazilian Tapir – is the second largest tapir on the continent, after the Baird’s Tapir. They can grow to about 5.9 to 8.2 feet in length (1.8 to 2.5 m) and weigh in about 500 pounds (225 kg) These mammals inhabit jungle and forest regions, usually not far from water. They are excellent swimmers, but also move very well on land, even in rugged terrains like hills and mountains. The tapir is a herbivore. It uses its sensitive and mobile snout to get leaves, buds, shoots, and small branches that it tears from trees, fruit, grasses, and aquatic plants. It is considered endangered or vulnerable due to poaching and habitat loss.
