The Malayan tapir is native to Asia. It is the only tapir species from that continent. People refer to the tapir as cipan, tenuk or badak tampung.
They stand out in the animal kingdom due to its striking black-and-white coat. Jet-black fur covers its front quarters and legs, while a stark white saddle wraps around its midsection.

World Tapir Day - April 27

World Tapir Day takes place annually on April 27 to raise awareness about these critically endangered species and to advocate for their protection for future generations. These creatures are directly related to horses as well as rhinoceroses in terms of genetics. Neither the tapir nor this eclectic ancestry is new to the world; both are centuries old. Researchers believe that these animals have remained essentially the same for millions of years.
