The Malayan Tapir

The Malayan Tapir or the Asian Tapir, is not an animal you see very commonly in most parts of the world. It is from the rainforests of South East Asia. It is a fairly large animal with an unusual coat. It is black mostly but it has a large white patch on its body and the tips of its ears are also white. This is black and white coat is for camouflage and it can be mistaken for a rock. It has a snout like a pig's.

These Tapirs are not tame, and are not from a zoo. The pictures are of wild Tapirs who have come out of the jungle at dusk.
