Do you intend to try to buy a tapir? You should be aware that all species of tapir apart from the Brazilian or Lowland tapir (Tapirus terrestris) are classified as Annex A species under EC Regulation 338/97 (relating to the Convention on TRADE IN Endangered Species (CITES), and special permits must be obtained to buy, sell, breed or use Annex A species for any commercial purpose. So rather than buying you'd probably be better off nicking one from your local zoo, if they have any. As for the age, it would depend on the individual animal, and how much time had passed between the time it was born and the time its age is being measured, but I'd say 'about three and a half' wouldn't be too far off the mark in most cases.
