Tapirus bairdii
The gestation period for tapirs is 400 days with only one offspring being born; weaning occurring another year later. Hunting and habitat loss have led to this species becoming listed as vulnerable, partially due to their lengthy reproductive process.
Forests in Central and Southern America.
The tapir is the largest land mammal in Central America.
