Feeding this amazing Brazilian tapir is always a highlight! 🤩💗 You might look at this face and think, “What a unique blend of animals!” and you’d be right! With a snout like a mini-elephant trunk and body shape that reminds people of a rhino, they’re like nature’s most interesting animal.

Tapir Diet
The South American tapir (Tapirus terrestris), is the largest and heaviest land mammal in the Amazon rainforest, reaching up to 250 kilograms. With its flexible snout and herbivorous diet, it roams long distances feeding on leaves, shoots, and fruits, dispersing thousands of seeds that give life to new trees. Jaguars, caimans, and anacondas are among its main predators. When threatened, its instinct leads it to seek refuge in the water, where it reveals itself as a surprisingly skilled swimmer.
