Tapir

       The Tapir lives in the forests of Thailand, Burma, Malaysia, and Indonesia. These strict vegetarians' only enemies are cats.

        Although there hasn't been a lot of study of this perissodactyl, scientists do know that he hasn't changed much in over 20 million years.
He is now endangered because of deforestation.
