Happy Tapir Day 2021
𝑻𝒂𝒑𝒊𝒓𝒖𝒔 𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒊𝒄𝒖𝒔 also known as The Malayan Tapir (tay-per) - Aren’t they adorable?
Their outlook has a combination of a pig and elephant, which might confuse many people. In fact, they are most related to horses and rhinos!
Around half of the world’s Malayan tapirs have been lost in the last 40 years, estimated fewer than 2,500 remain in Southeast Asia. Hunting and mass deforestation are blamed for the decline in numbers.
Make our responsibilities not only to protect the earth but also the animals!
