South American Tapir Tapirus terrestris

Also known as anta (Brazilian Portuguese), and la sachavaca (literally "bushcow", in mixed Quechua and Spanish), it can be found near water in the Amazon rainforest and River Basin in South America, east of the Andes. It is an excellent swimmer and diver, but also moves quickly on land, even over rugged, mountainous terrain. It has a life span of approximately 25 to 30 years.

Big Feet Plush Tapirus

I can't imagine how it was decided to make a toy of the Tapirus, of all things. Not that I'm complaining, I love these guys just because of how weird they are. Why do they have four queues on their snout instead of two on their head?? No one knows
