BRAZILIAN TAPIRS Whipsnade Park Old Postcard Zoo Animal

Publisher: Printed in England. Photo by F. W. Bond F.R.P.S.
Background: Nearly always found near water, the Brazilian tapir is a good swimmer and diver but also moves fast on land, even over rugged, mountainous country. It is dark brown in color and has a low, erect mane running from the crown down the back of the neck. Using its mobile snout, this tapir feeds on leaves, buds, shoots, and small branches that it tears from trees, fruit, grasses and aquatic plants. The female gives birth to a single spotted and striped young after a gestation of 390 to 400 days.
