In general, tapir are more active at night than during the day. Some are crepuscular, meaning they are active near dusk and dawn. However, they may be active at any time.
Tapirs often lie around near or swim in bodies of water. They are normally nocturnal, so they spend most of the night foraging for food.
The 'Baird's' part of the name Baird's tapir comes from Baird. The 'tapir' element is derived from the word tapir, because it is a tapir.
