Lowland tapir

What a maw! An exceptional view of the tapir's nostril and teeth! In the background you can see a hand perched on the animal's sagittal crest, a prominent distinguishing feature possessed by both males and females of this species.
All tapirs are endangered species.
Saving tapirs helps save the rainforest.
Ingo Behrmann's web site once featured Anja, the last mountain tapir in Europe (d. 1997). Now the site seems to have disappeared.
