Tapirus bairdii
This Baird's Tapir was about 2 meters longs, and was seen looking for fallen fruit and leaves on the rainforest floor. It didn't seem to mind us - it went by its own business like we weren't there.
Rainforests of Central America, mainly around rivers and water holes.
Spotted in Corcovado National Park, Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica

Congratulations! This exciting encounter was selected as our Rangers' Spotting of the Week! Although I've been to Costa Rica a few times, I've never had the chance to visit Corcovado. I hope to make it there one day, but until then, I'll have to settle for your awesome photos. Thanks for sharing and congrats again!

Congrats Yaniv and Sarit Wainer!!!
Great series!
Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!
Cool!
So great! congrats!
Thanks, Jae!
