Tapirs are a family of four extant species in the same order as horses and rhinoceroses. Three species occur in Central and South America, while the fourth, the Malayan, now occurs only in Malaysia, having once been widespread through Southeast Asia. They are herbivorous and have a short prehensile nasal trunk.
