The tapir 




 The tapir is a mammal animal , they are similar to pig but actually they are related with the horse and rhinoceroses. He have a kind of trunk, that he used for take branches.



I like the Tapir because i dont believed that he existed , until that  my brother show me the picture and i began to discover of him.
And are incredible, they eat leaves and fruits . As they roam and defecate they deposit the seeds they have consumed and promote future plant growth.
They are a great help for the ecosystem!

But unfortunately , they are in endangered , in fact today  there are only four species , before existed about  twenty.


                                                                                                                                                                                                                     

They are very good swimmers , even some times they eat aquatic plants.



Here we can see a pretty picture
