The tapir is normally one of the most
peaceful of animals and is ill-equipped for
combat; its hooves are soft and its teeth are
dull. However, if cornered, a tapir will take
a bite out of its attacker with its wide
mouth, doing damage if it gets a solid bite.
The tapir swims well and can stay underwater for several minutes. It lives only in tropical forests along rivers.
