Here's why:
* Nocturnal: Tapirs are primarily active at night.
* Hooved: They have four toes on their front feet and three on their back feet, all ending in hooves.
* Long, flexible snout: Tapirs have a distinctive long, prehensile snout that they use to forage for food.
There are four species of tapir, found in Central and South America as well as Southeast Asia. They are large, mammal herbivores, and are considered vulnerable or endangered due to habitat loss and hunting.
