The lowland tapir is a native of South America. This pair of totally spoiled tapirs resides at Peak Wildlife Park in Winkhill, Leek, in central England. You’ll understand why we call them spoiled after you watch this tapir grooming session. Please note that spoiled tapirs are not a bad thing. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Peak Wildlife Park (@peakwildlifepark) The tapirs seem to enjoy a good grooming session thoroughly. Those chin scratches brought out some silly smiles. We’re reasonably sure the animals were not ready to end the spa session. Both animals were enjoying the brush action and would have been begging for more if they could speak. It isn’t easy to hear over the wind, but they are making little snuffling sounds and chuffing with enjoyment. Tapirs are short, rotund, barrel-bodied beasties with a prehensile snout. They are also the largest land mammals in South America. Their bodies range from six to eight feet long and can weigh between 330 and 705 pounds. They are herbivores and live primarily on a diet of leaves. However, they consume over 100 different types of plants. Because of their diverse diet, they are a critical part of the ecosystem as seed dispersers. Use your imagination here because we are not getting graphic. Tapirs are listed as vulnerable on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List. Animals classified as vulnerable, endangered, and critically endangered are in danger of extinction. Some of the most significant factors in population decline are encroachment and deforestation. Follow Peak Wildlife Park on their socials for updates and more information about these fascinating animals.
