Tapirs | The Fascinating Gentle Giants #shorts

Tapirs are large, herbivorous mammals native to Central and South America, as well as parts of Asia. Tapirs have a distinctive appearance, with a short, snout that they use to grab vegetation. They also have a thick, leathery skin that protects them from predators. Despite their size and strength, tapirs are generally gentle animals that prefer to avoid conflict. When threatened, they will often run into water to escape predators. Tapirs look something like pigs with trunks, but they are actually related to horses and rhinoceroses. #nature #animals #animal #tapir #mammals #viral #wildlife #youtubeshorts #animalfacts #herbivores #species #friendlyanimal
