Their noses are snorkels, they plant trees with their poop, walk underwater and could once be found all over the world. Meet a group (called a 'candle') of remarkable mammals whose closest relatives are horses and rhinos: tapirs! 🎉Today is World Tapir Day, a day to raise awareness for these endangered animals and help to protect them for future generations - three of the four tapir species are listed as endangered. We can help by learning more about these interesting creatures and directly supporting organisations like our partners, @rainforesttrust, who protect important animal habitat around the globe 🌎💚
