Tapir fun fact time! ✨ Did you know their snout can move in all directions and isn't just for sniffing - it can also be used to pick up items such as food? ✨ They love to eat! Consuming up to 30kg of food per day. ✨And, they prefer to sink and walk along the bottom of rivers rather than swim? You can catch Semangka the Malayan Tapir getting the VIP treatment from her keepers on Thursday's episode of Mega Zoo! Don't miss it - 7:30pm on @channel9 | Zoos Victoria

This is a Lowland #Tapir • BTW He loves scratches 😁 When you can't decide between being a horse, a rhino, or an anteater... so you become a bit of everything! 🐴🦏🐜#thenaturefoundation #tnf #conservation #nature #photography #wildlifephotography #natureshots #naturegram #wildlife#goodvibes#cuteanimals#happyanimals | The Nature Foundation
