Tapirs are fascinating animals often mistaken for hippos, pigs, or anteaters. Surprisingly, their closest relatives are rhinos and horses. They’ve been around since the Eocene era and are south America's largest native land mammals, weighing between 300-700 pounds. What makes them unique is their long, flexible nose, which they use to grab leaves while eating and even as a snorkel when swimming.
