Description: Fact sheet from EDGE on this endangered species from high in the Andes.
EDGE :: Mammal Species Information The smallest and most endangered of the four species of tapir, the mountain tapir survives in a few remaining undisturbed refuges high in the Andes. It is also known as the woolly tapir because of its thick woolly fur, which keeps it warm in freezing night-time temperatures. Like other tapirs, this species has a long prehensile nose capable of grasping leaves. It is hunted for its meat, pelt and body parts, which are used in traditional folk medicine. Fewer than 2,500 are thought to survive.
