	Comparative Placentation
		The tapiridae were once distributed world-wide and the East Indian and American tapirs are believed to have diverged from one another about 20-30 MYA (Ashley et al., 1996).
		Very few placentas of any of the tapiridae have been described, and no really early stages are on record (Mossman, 1987).

	[No title]
		Definitions for Ceratomorpha and Tapiromorpha are modified from Froehlich (1999) and Holbrook (1999), and definitions for Tapiroidea from Holbrook (1999).
		This definition is in keeping with Dashzeveg and Hooker (1997); consideration of the Tapiroidea as the group “comprising the extant family Tapiridae plus its more immediate extinct relatives,” and refines the similar stem-based definition of Holbrook (1999).
		Although Tapiromorpha has been applied to several different taxonomic assemblages in the past (see Schoch 1989a), it is commonly considered to be the sister-taxon to Hippomorpha.

	Perissodactyla
		The Equidae have a single functional toe on each foot (the third digit), while the Rhinocerotidae have three toes per foot.
		The Tapiridae - the closest family to the ancestral perissodactyl condition - possess four toes on the forefeet (digit V is used on wet or marshy ground) and three on the hind.
		Perissodactyls are truly unguligrade, with the heel and sole of the foot never touching the ground.

	The Tapir Gallery - Family Tree (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		Following are a number of links that will show and tell about different aspects of the tapirs' "family tree," evolution, taxonomy, etc. I'm planning to make a nice graphic tree or two as I have time, but very briefly and without much detail, the hierarchy goes like this:
		The Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies [R(D)SVS], oldest veterinary school in Scotland, has an interesting site that describes the above categories in easy-to-understand terms.
		After you pass the coffee cup picture, take the link that says "The Bibliography of Fossil Vertebrates." Search with the exact string: taxon='Tapiridae' (it's case sensitive) and you'll find the listings on fossils in the family Tapiridae.
