The Mountain Tapir is a species of tapir native to the cloud forests and páramo in the north Andean Mountains. As opposed to the other tapir species it has a thick woolly fur. Their fur is dark brown or black with a little lighter brown fur on the head and white around the mouth. They can be up to 1.80 meters long and 1 meter high at the shoulders and weigh up to 250 kilograms.

Mountain Tapirs are herbivores, eating mainly leaves, fruit and ferns. They are a keystone species in northern South America as they disperse the seeds of many plants. Thanks to their inefficient digestion, plenty of nutrients are still available to the seeds.
