Tapiridae
The family tree (below) is not fully resolved; while the American tapirs would logically group together (as shown here), some genetic studies have clustered the Baird's tapir (Tapirus bairdii) next to the Asian tapir (Tapirus indicus), away from the other two American species. Tapirs are forest animals and feed on softer vegetation-they have not developed the cursorial adaptations of the equids, nor the high-crowned teeth for grazing on grass. Infant tapirs possess a striking pattern of white stripes and spots over their bodies, providing camouflage for their first 5-8 months. Tapirs have an unusual disjunct distribution-they are the only New World perissodactyls (three species inhabit Central and South America), but one species is native to Asia The family Tapiridae comprises four living species in the single genus Tapirus: Tapirus pinchaque (mountain tapir), T. terrestris (lowland tapir), T. bairdii (Baird’s tapir) and T. indicus (Asian or Malayan tapir).  A tapir (/ˈteɪpər/ TAY-pər or /təˈpɪər/ tə-PEER) is a large, herbivorous mammal, similar in shape to a pig, with a short, prehensile snout. Tapirs inhabit jungle and forest regions of South America, Central America, and Southeastern Asia. Baird's tapirs have been observed to eat around 40 kg (85 lb) of vegetation in one day. Tapirs are largely nocturnal and crepuscular, although the smaller mountain tapir of the Andes is generally more active during the day than its congeners. A monotypic genus within the tapir family, Tapiridae. Tapirs are primitive large mammals most closely related to horses and rhinos. Class: Mammalia Order: Perissodactyla Family: Tapiridae Genus: Tapirus Species: indicus Distribution The tapir ranges through Myanmar (Burma) and Thailand south to Malaysia and Sumatra. Habitat Tropical lowland swamp, montane and hill forests, prefers dense, primary forest Woolly tapirs, named for their warm and protective coat, are the smallest of all tapirs. The world's biggest tapir is found in the Old World—Southeast Asia. The black-and-white Malay tapir can grow to 800 pounds (363 kilograms). It inhabits the forests and swamps of Malaysia and Sumatra.  The five extant species of tapirs are the Brazilian tapir, the Malayan tapir, the Baird's tapir, the kabomani tapir, and the mountain tapir. The four species that have been evaluated (the Brazilian, Malayan, Baird's and mountain tapir) are all classified as endangered or vulnerable. Baird's tapirs have been observed to eat around 40 kg (85 lb) of vegetation in one day. Tapirs are largely nocturnal and crepuscular, although the smaller mountain tapir of the Andes is generally more active during the day than its congeners. Classification and Range. The Malayan tapir (TAY-per) belongs to the family Tapiridae, which includes three other tapir species: Brazilian, mountain and Baird's tapirs. Malayan tapirs are the only Asian species of tapir, and are native to the island of Sumatra, the Malay Peninsula, and Southern Thailand. Three other species of tapir range from central Mexico to Central and South America. Female tapirs become sexually mature when they are 3 to 4 years old; males after 5 years. Breeding can occur at any time during the year, with females becoming sexually receptive every two months. The Malayan tapir's gestation period varies from 390-395 days. Mothers give birth to a single calf (twins are rare). By Liz Ballenger and Phil Myers. The family Tapiridae contains tapirs. They are placed in one genus, Tapirus, with four species. Three of these species live in South America, ranging from southern Mexico through central America to Venezuela, and south to Paraguay and Brazil. The fourth species, the Malayan tapir, inhabits Burma and Thailand south to Malaya and Sumatra. Tapirs are shy, reclusive rainforest animals that live in nearly any wooded or grassy habitat with a permanent supply of water. They have also been found in dry deciduous forests and mountain forests. The Malayan tapir (Tapirus indicus), also called the Asian tapir, is the largest of the five species of tapir and the only one native to Asia. The scientific name refers to the East Indies, the species' natural habitat. In the Malay language, the tapir is commonly referred to as cipan, tenuk or badak tampung.
