Tapirs are herbivores that feed up on water plants, fruits and buds. These mammals will also eat twigs and leaves. They use their long snouts to forage along the ground in search of food. Tapirs have been known to consume up to 40 kilograms (85 pounds) of vegetation in one day.

If you want to call someone a âjackassâ in Brazil, you call them a âtapir.â These large, forest-dwelling mammals look a bit like a cross between a wild boar and an anteater.. Tapirs are considered an umbrella species. Tapirs require a lot of space in order to find all the resources they need, and they share habitat with many other animals â peccaries, deer, birds, insects, and so on.
