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.

Indian Wild Ass or Indian Onager (Equus hemionus khur), family Equidae, order Perissodactyla, Gujarat, India
Once roamed throughout northern India all the way east to Iran, now is found only in the Indian state of Gujarat
This subspecies used to be critically endangered, in the 1960s populations were decimated by disease, dwindling to only 870. But conservation efforts have been rewarded richly, today there are over 7,000 Indian onagers in the wild

I've been studying some real animals as to better my anatomy skills, but then I've turned my normal sketch of a rhino into an extinct Megacerops drawing so.
Here's the original image I based the drawing off. I really want to use real life successors of the extinct fauna as reference in my paleoart.
African Wild Asses (Equus africanus) - (c) SaritaWolf - please do not repost
Cadurcodon ardynensis was an odd-toed ungulate that lived in what is now Mongolia during the late Eocene, about 37-34 million years ago.
It was around 2m long (6'6") and, despite its very tapir-like appearance and lack of horns, it was actually closer related to modern rhinoceroses – it was part of a group of early rhino-cousins known as amynodontids, which convergently evolved both hippo-like and tapir-like lifestyles.
Cadurcodon was the most tapir-like of the tapir-like amynodontids, with a short deep skull and retracted nasal bones that indicate it had a well-developed prehensile trunk. Males also had large tusks formed from their upper and lower canine teeth, which may have been used for fighting each other.
