High Risk

During the past 35 years, more than 50% of the Malayan tapir’s habitat has been destroyed. What’s left is badly damaged.

FUN FACT

Every tapir is born with spots and stripes. This camouflage pattern protects the young tapir from predators, helping it blend in with vegetation. The “broken” coloration of the adult Malayan tapir also acts as camouflage.
