Yes, tapirs do have predators, primarily large carnivores such as jaguars and pumas. Young tapirs are more vulnerable to predation due to their smaller size and lack of experience. Additionally, crocodiles can pose a threat to tapirs when they are near water. However, adult tapirs have few natural predators due to their size and thick skin.
No, Tapirs are herbivores, Jaguars and Anaconda are the tapirs predators.
jaguar?
jaguar?
Yes, tapirs are mammals.The tapir is definitely a mammal.
Tapirs have snouts to go snorkling in the water to hide from predators. Isn't that interesting?
Monkeys and larger animals
The amazon tapir is prey to black caimans, jaguars, mountain lions, and anacondas.
in the same way as any other animal
Some predators of the tapir include snakes and crocodiles. Their main predator is humans, as well as cougars, tigers, and other big cats.
They don't. The mother forages for them whilst they remain hidden in the grass. That way they are reasonably safe from predators.
They are very well disguised because they are black and white; they also look like pigs so may be mistaken for pigs by predators....... :)
As herbivores they will eat any tender shoots
