Have you seen tapirs as close as I've seen them in a Safari Park in the city of Krasnodar? :)
Among other things tapirs are among the most ancient animals that inhabit our planet about 60 million years. Previously, they lived almost all over the Earth, but today are found only in South East Asia and in South America, this species is threatened by extinction, so they began to breed in these private zoos.
Saw how they eat, and walk around his spacious cage, a very impressive sight. Took a short video:
did Not think that they are quite large and so fat. Tapirs belong to the order of equids. Something even like a pig, they have a small tail, but pretty "slim" neck. Tapirs are herbivorous animals, they have strong legs, but despite this, they are very slow and a bit clumsy.
People are not afraid, they treat us peacefully. Completely non-aggressive and relatively harmless. Will be at the zoo watch them, I think you'll like it.
