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.

Note: The best-known species are the Indian tapir ({Tapirus
Indicus}), native of the East Indies and Malacca, which
is black with a broad band of white around the middle,
and the common American tapir (Tapirus Americanus),
which, when adult, is dull brown. Several others
species inhabit the Andes and Central America.
