Giant Tapir

A placid, barrel-bodied browser crosses soft marsh on splayed toes, its blunt teeth grinding rather than tearing.

commonAnimal

A barrel-bodied browser with a prehensile snout and a placid temper, the giant tapir lumbers through riverbanks and rainforest until something forces it to bite — and its blunt teeth grind rather than tear.

Its splayed toes carry it across soft, marshy ground without bogging down.
