How cute is that baby, awwww!
Cyndee this is a picture of a Baird's tapir (Tapirus bairdii) they historically lived in southern Mexico, Central America and at least a small part of Colombia in South America. There are three species of ,Baird's tapir, sadly poaching and hunting are killing them off, and the encroachment of humans forces them away from their homes. Nobody knows how many are left, but there are fewer than the lowland tapir and more than either the mountain or Asian tapir. They enjoy swampy jungle and river habitat, but are also found in drier forests. It's the second largest of the tapirs next to the Asian tapir, and is the largest land mammal from Mexico to South America.
Here another picture, so you can see what they look like fully grown.
Hugs, Jane.
