A tapir walking among fruit

The tapir is seen from the side as it travels toward the right along the ground. Two large fruits resembling apples lie nearby, several smaller fruits are spread below, and a tuft of grass grows to the right of the animal. The rest of the setting is open and uncluttered.

Interesting facts about tapirs

Tapirs use their short, flexible snouts to grasp leaves and pick up fruit. As they move through forests and other leafy habitats, they can carry swallowed seeds to new places, helping some plants spread through the environment.
