Thanks! Nice animals! And the caretaker looks like a tapir too :).

How mean you are. No need for that.

This animal is REAL as I thought it was only nightmare eating animal from Japanese mythology.

No, not at all, tapirs are a lineage of mostly jungle-dwelling, semi-aquatic and herbivorous animals. There are four species of tapirs; three in America and one in Asia. Here in South America, for example, we have the common tapir (Tapirus terrestris); the same one that stars in this video.

​@lucasjorqueraramos1438 They exist in Asia? That's extremely interesting. Will look that up. These are an amazing creature!

[@Gefffuhuh]

There is a video of a woman who got her face ripped of by one of these. do not let you're kids anywhere near them.
