Subject: Tapir Talk Spanish Lesson

Hi Tapir Talkers,

The Mountain Tapir poster from Ecuador featured on Sheryl's
web site has inspired a question about the Spanish language.
Is the Spanish word for tapir ("la danta") always feminine?  
In other words, are both male and female tapirs "dantas?"  
Or is there a male equivalent like "el dante" or "el danto?" 

!Muchas gracias por su ayuda!

P.S. The poster is a beauty.  Check it out at:
