It weighs over 300 kilos and can measure up to two meters in length: the Malaysian tapir is the largest tapir in the world.
It lives in Malaysia and Indonesia, in areas of tropical forests near a water point.
He is an excellent swimmer because he can use his small trunk to breathe underwater, like a snorkel.
It is an endangered species, with only 2,500 Malaysian tapirs still present in the wild.
Deforestation, linked in large part to the production of palm oil, is responsible for the disappearance of its natural habitat.
