===Tapir(3)===
Tapirs are pig-like animals. They are dark brown in color, with low, erect manes running from the crown down the back of the neck. The Tapir can attain a body length of 5.9 to 8.2 feet, with a 2.0 to 3.9 inch short, stubby tail, and can grow to 600 pounds in weight. They stand somewhere between 2.5 to 3.5 ft at the shoulder. They are excellent swimmers and divers but also move quickly on land, even over rugged, mountainous terrain. Tapirs prefer to stay in the water to avoid land-based predators, and are known to run to water when startled. Due to their body size, a tapir could probably harm a [[human]], but they very strongly prefer to run rather than fight. The species has a life span of 25 to 30 years.
