Baird's tapir

Tapirs generally live in forested areas, and their stocky build, with relatively short limbs and stout torso, is well suited for barreling through the underbrush. This picture of a young male Baird's tapir was taken in the jungle of Corcovado National Park in Costa Rica, by Matt Colbert. See more pictures of Dedo and other Baird's tapirs in the additional imagery section of the T. bairdii- Baird's tapir page, and the "More Tapir Photos" page.
