South American tapirs are herbivorous and primarily feed on a variety of plant materials. Their diet consists of leaves, fruits, berries, and aquatic plants, which they forage from the forest floor and surrounding vegetation. They play a crucial role in their ecosystem by helping to disperse seeds through their feces. Tapirs are known to be browsers and grazers, adapting their diet based on seasonal availability of food sources.
