It has a short trunk and its coat pattern acts as camouflage in the forest. - It is becoming endangered since 2008 due to habitat loss and fragmentation from palm oil plantations, logging, and agricultural expansion. Their wild population is estimated at 1,500-2,000 in Malaysia. - As solitary and nocturnal animals, tapirs have poor eyesight but good hearing and smell. Males mark their territories by spraying urine on trees. They reproduce every two years and
