There are four tapir species, and their latin names are as follows: * Baird's Tapir, Tapirus bairdii * Malayan Tapir, Tapirus indicus * Mountain Tapir, Tapirus pinchaque * Brazilian Tapir (also called Lowland Tapir), Tapirus terrestris But different species can actually breed with each other in zoos etc. to produce hybrids. The baby hybrids are then called whatever the zoo staff want to call them.
