Day 2: Malayan Tapir

Day 2:

Here I go again talking about animals you may or may not know but today very few people know about tapirs. The Malayan Tapir for example lives in Burma Thailand, South to Malayan and Sumatra. They weigh about 550-660 pounds and is 7.8-7.9 ft from head-body length. In fact the Malayan Tapir is the largest of the tapir species. They are part white and their fore and hind legs are black. They are nocturnal which means they sleep in the day and party all night… not really. They are solitary They eat leaves, fruit and they feed on about 122 species of plants. About every day they eat 4 to 5 percent of their body weight. They usually live about 30 years old, and in captivity they live up to 35 years old. If you have heard of the Malayan Tapir comment below. Until next time.
