Discover the majestic Brazilian Tapir (Tapirus terrestris), a large, herbivorous mammal native to South America. This portrait captures the distinctive features of the tapir at Tambopata Research Centre in Peru. The Brazilian tapir, also known as the South American tapir, is found in various regions including Mato Grosso, Brazil, where it roams the Northern Pantanal. In this side view, observe its powerful snout and short, curved tusks, adapted for foraging in the forest floor. Young tapirs, like this one from Iwokrama Forest Reserve in Guyana, follow their mothers until they reach maturity. The Brazilian tapir is an essential component of the ecosystem, and can be found in zoos around the world, such as the Zoo of Prague. Let's work together to protect and conserve this magnificent creature and its habitat in South America.
