tapir
n 1: large inoffensive chiefly nocturnal ungulate of tropical
America and southeast Asia having a heavy body and fleshy
snout

Tapir \Ta"pir\, n. [Braz. tapy'ra: cf. F. tapir.] (Zool.)
Any one of several species of large odd-toed ungulates
belonging to {Tapirus}, {Elasmognathus}, and allied genera.
They have a long prehensile upper lip, short ears, short and
stout legs, a short, thick tail, and short, close hair. They
have three toes on the hind feet, and four toes on the fore
feet, but the outermost toe is of little use.
[1913 Webster]

Note: The best-known species are the Indian tapir ({Tapirus
Indicus}), native of the East Indies and Malacca, which
is black with a broad band of white around the middle,
and the common American tapir ({Tapirus Americanus}),
which, when adult, is dull brown. Several others
species inhabit the Andes and Central America.
[1913 Webster]

{Tapir tiger} (Zool.), the wallah.
[1913 Webster]
