Malayan Tapir
(From The Aspinall Foundation)
The Malayan Tapir is a funny looking animal with small stubby legs and a long snout. These amazing creatures may have poor eyesight, but what they lack in vision they more than make up with in hearing and sense of smell. The Malayan Tapir is becoming threatened with extinction due to deforestation and being hunted for illegal trade on the black market.
It is predicted that a quarter of all known species will be extinct in the next 20 years. Adopting an animal will help to protect those species most in danger. By adopting an animal you will be giving endangered species a chance of survival for the future.
