Lowland tapirs (also known as Brazilian or South American tapir) are large-bodied herbivores native to South America.
They tend to be solitary animals, coming together mainly for mating purposes. Males and females have overlapping home ranges and communicate through vocalizations, scent-marking, and physical cues.
They are classed as a vulnerable species, as they are threatened by habitat loss and fragmentation due to deforestation, agricultural expansion, and infrastructure development. Additionally, they are vulnerable to poaching for their meat and hides.
