Tapir
With its heavy body and short legs the Tapir is related to the Rhinoceros and, like its cousin, it enjoys regular mud baths to rid itself of parasites. The Tapir is quite at home in the water, plunging into the river to ecape predators and perhaps staying a while to browse on aquatic vegetation.
