The South American Tapir
"This adorable creature is one of the three big animals visitors hope to see in the jungle, along with jaguars and the giant otter. The hoofed mammals are surprisingly nimble given their bulky appearance and they feed on clay licks found in the jungle. Tapirs have come under threat as a result of illegal hunting and due to their habitat being destroyed by human activity. " - Rainforest Cruises.
