A Tapir Is Not A Pig

Although this animal from the Amazon looks a lot like a pig, it isn’t. Tapirs live in Central and South America in the rainforest. They come in five species and can weigh up to 700 pounds.
Tapirs are herbivores and eat mostly berries, plants, and leaves. They live between 25 and 30 years, both in the wild and in captivity.
