Also known as anta (Brazilian Portuguese), and la sachavaca (literally "bushcow", in mixed Quechua and Spanish), it can be found near water in the Amazon rainforest and River Basin in South America, east of the Andes. It is an excellent swimmer and diver, but also moves quickly on land, even over rugged, mountainous terrain. It has a life span of approximately 25 to 30 years.

Malayan Tapir Acrocodia indica

The only living tapir species outside of the Americas. It is native to Southeast Asia from the Malay Peninsula to Sumatra. Malayan tapirs are primarily solitary, marking out large tracts of land as their territory, though these areas usually overlap with those of other individuals. Exclusively herbivorous, the animal forages for the tender shoots and leaves of more than 115 species of plants. The tapir can run quickly when threatened or frightened, and if forced to fight can defend itself with its strong jaws and sharp teeth. Malayan tapirs communicate with high-pitched squeaks and whistles.
