Although i'm often mistaken for pigs and anteaters, i'm in the odd-toed hooved animal family (perissodactyls), as are the horse and rinocerous. All four species of tapir are endangered. The Malay tapir (like myself) is native to Asia, where its natural enemies are the tiger and man. The largest tapir, the Malay tapir, weighs up to 800 pounds(i'm almost there!). It also has the most dramatic coloration, with black shoulders, head, and legs and a white band around the body(thats why i'm so popular with the ladies). The Mountain, Baird and Brazillian tapirs are native to South America, and all are solid black or black- brown (boring!). All baby tapirs have light colored, horizontal, watermelon like stripes, but these disappear by adulthood(i was such a cutie!). I am also told I smell like lettuce! (another reason why the ladies love me so much)
