	Digimorph - Tapirus indicus (Asian tapir)
		Tapirus indicus, the Asian or Malayan tapir, is the largest of the four living species of tapirs, weighing around 350 to 400 kg (800 to 900 lbs).

	Digimorph - Tapirus terrestris (lowland tapir)
		Relative to other living perissodactyls (i.e., horses and rhinoceroses), tapirs are also characterized by a posteriorly telescoped cranium, with the frontal bones elevated and posteriorly displaced relative to the rest of the facial skeleton.
		Tapirus terrestris is distinguished from other Recent tapir species by its enlarged sagittal crest, which appears to be related to a changed timing for expression of the temporalis musculature during the early stages of development (Holbrook, 2002).
		Although the general external cranial osteology of Tapirus is fairly well documented compared to most mammalian taxa (e.g., Hatcher, 1896; Hershkovitz, 1954; Parker, 1882; Radinsky, 1965a; Simpson, 1945), only two studies (Paulli, 1900; Witmer et al, 1999) touch on aspects of its internal cranial architecture (the reader is referred to the Witmer et al.

		Although crushed, the flattened medial premaxillary margins of the nasoincisive incisure suggest that the cartilaginous nasal septum was clasped by the premaxillae, or possibly a maxilloturbinate that lined the narial face of the premaxillae (Figure 6).
		As in Tapirus, the posterior perpendicular lamina of the palatine extends posterior to the anterior margin of the choanae along the medial surface of the maxilla, extending to the posterior face of the maxillary tuber, where there is a small posteriomedial suface for the suture with the pterygoid.
		What is preserved of the nasals is similar to those of Tapirus, having an anteriorly tapering rostral process; the posteromedial margin of the rostral process with a small notch; and a short descending process resting on the posterior ascending process of the maxillae.

		This crown-group definition codifies the general view that all living tapiroids belong to Tapirus (e.g., Colbert and Schoch 1998; Hershkovitz 1954; Nowak 1999; Prothero and Schoch 1989a, 1989b; Simpson 1945; Ray and Sanders 1984; Wilson and Reeder 1993).
		Redefined here as the clade consisting of Tapirus terrestris (Linnaeus 1758) and all organisms that share a more recent common ancestor with Tapirus terrestris than with Rhinoceros unicornis Linnaeus 1758 (definition modified from Colbert and Schoch 1998).
		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).

	Mountain tapir
		As a result, this species has developed a thick, wooly coat, with hairs up to 2.5 cm / 1 inch long to keep out the cold, which gives it its other name - the woolly tapir.

		Many of the observed features are directly comparable with features in Tapirus, including several skeletal indicators of a prehensile proboscis similar to that of Tapirus.
		In particular, details of the anatomy surrounding the retracted nasoincisive incisure are similar to those of Tapirus, including the occurrence of apomorphic fossae for cartilaginous meatal diverticula on the dorsal frontals and nasal, and ascending maxillae.
		In a broader evolutionary context, it might be hypothesized that the evolution of the facial skeleton in the Tapiroidea involves peramorphosis (e.g., see Alberch et al.

		The skin on the back of the head and nape is nearly an inch thick, presumably for added protection from predator fangs (Sanborn and Watkins 1950) and gives protection to the neck when the tapir is moving through dense undergrowth (Lekagul and McNeely 1977).

		It has been suggested that the species (polkensis) should be placed within the genus Tapirus, but diagnostic material was lacking (Hulbert, personal communication).
		Modern tapirs can live in almost any environment, but typically stay close to permanent water to feed, and near forested areas for shelter.
		Living members of the genus Tapirus do not herd, but it is possible that some of the extinct taxa (including ours) may have exhibited herding tendencies.

		However, unless and until more brevetianus individuals can be studied, the precise explanation for the trait will remain unknown.

		The three species are the Central American or Baird's tapir (Tapirus bairdii), ranging from Oaxaca and Veracruz to Mexico through Central America to western Ecuador; the mountain, woolly or Andean tapir (T.
		Globally speaking, the vast range of Tapirus terrestris, including huge, virtually unpopulated and remote forests (particularly montane flood plains) and national parks, rules out a classification of endangered or vulnerable.
		However, tapir populations are clearly undergoing an accelerated process of degradation, fragmentation and reduction of their original distribution (102, 141, 245, 294, 307, 401, 451, 597).
