The South American Tapir (Tapirus terrestris), or Brazilian Tapir, or Amazonian Tapir, or Maned Tapir, or Lowland Tapir, is Tapir species from South America. South American Tapir is dark brown, paler in the face, and has a low, erect crest running from the crown down the back of the neck. The round, dark ears have distinctive white edges.

The South American tapir can attain a body length of 1.8 to 2.5 m (5 ft 11 in to 8 ft 2 in) with a 5 to 10 cm (2.0 to 3.9 in) short stubby tail and an average weight around 225 kg (496 lb).
