Baird's Tapir is a large herbivorous mammal native to Central America and parts of South America. It has a distinctive body shape, with a stout build, short legs, and a long, flexible snout. This species typically inhabits tropical rainforests, swamps, and riverine areas, where it feeds on leaves, fruits, and aquatic plants. Baird's Tapir is the largest of the four tapir species and can weigh up to 900 pounds. It plays a crucial role in its ecosystem by helping to disperse seeds through its diet. Unfortunately, this species is currently classified as endangered due to habitat loss and hunting, making conservation efforts essential for its survival.
