How Tapirs Get Their Food
Tapirs are herbivores, meaning they eat plants.
• Grazing: grasses, leaves, and fruits.
• Browsing: leaves, twigs, and shoots from trees and shrubs.
• Fruit Eating: tapirs love fruit and help disperse seeds.
Fun fact: tapirs have a long, prehensile snout that works like a little trunk to pull food toward their mouths.
