Tapir
\Ta"pir\, n. [Braz. tapy'ra: cf. F. tapir.] (Zo["o]l.)
Any one of several species of large odd-toed ungulates
belonging to
Tapirus,
Elasmognathus, and allied genera.
They have a long prehensile upper lip, short ears, short and
stout legs, a short, thick tail, and short, close hair. They
have three toes on the hind feet, and four toes on the fore
feet, but the outermost toe is of little use.

Tapirus Indicus
), native of the East Indies and Malacca, which

which, when adult, is dull brown. Several others
species inhabit the Andes and Central America.
