Tapirs live in forests and grasslands, mainly in South America, Central America, and Southeast Asia. They use their snouts to grab leaves, fruits, and aquatic plants. Despite their size, tapirs are excellent swimmers and often stay near water to cool off and escape predators. | Nature View | Facebook
