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.
