Tapirs are mammals with very long snouts!

They have four toes on their front feet, and three toes on their back feet.

Tapirs have a really flexible nose that can move in every direction!

Sleepy tapir

Adult tapirs have very strong skin on the back of their neck which acts as a shield against animals with sharp teeth, like tigers and crocodiles.

Tapirs like to chill out in shallow water or pits of mud to stay cool on a warm day.
