It is the 'Tapir' (mammal) and are in the jungles of Central and South America and South East Asia. Although it is piglike in appearance it's related to the horse and rhino. They eat leaves, reeds and roots and are good swimmers and big water drinkers. When in danger they are extremely fast on their feet and will often charge their enemy through thick brush.
