I trawled the internet for hours in search of some information regarding your intriguing question. The best I could do was to download a high quality photograph of a tapir in the wild, and then label all the body parts myself. I would say that the tapir I was looking at had between 8 and 11 body parts, which is about average for a mammal, but there could have been extra body parts not visible because of the angle of the photograph, etc. Hope that helps.

∙ 14y agoA healthy tapir is normally equipped with between 3 and 5 legs, the average quantity being 4. When a tapir has suffered severe injury it may have somewhat less than 4 legs, or in extreme cases (such as after having been butchered for human consumption) none at all.
