The Malayan Tapir is a species of Tapir native to Asia; it is also the only species of Tapir native to Asia. There are three distinct populations of Malayan Tapir, which, despite separation by large geographical distance and, in the case of the Sumatran population, complete isolation, are to be considered one unified species. These are a population in Mainland Southeast Asia, one in Southern Thailand and Malaysia, and the aforementioned population on the island of Sumatra. The Malayan Tapir is solitary, yet not territorial, only infrequently interacting with others of its species despite large territory overlaps. The Malayan Tapir’s greatest defense is its ability to run away, really really fast. The Malayan Tapir is exclusively herbivorous, I know they have a proboscis like the anteater but they’re not even remotely related.
