Swamp Thing - art by Bernie Wrightson (1971)
(1951)
They’re agile runners, they’re great divers, and they haven’t changed much in more than 20 million years. Though Malayan tapirs (Tapirus indicus) may be friend-shaped, resist the urge to boop their snoots: Adults can weigh more than 1,000 lbs (450 kg) and can run at speeds of up to 29.8mph (48 km/h)! They use their unique nose, called a proboscis, like a snorkel when submerged in water. Found in parts of southeastern Asia, these herbivores use a wide range of vocalizations, including hiccup-like sounds, to communicate.
