The mountain tapir is a mammal from the tapir family. It lives in the Andes mountains of South America and is covered with thick fur that helps endure the cool climate.
The mountain tapir differs from other tapirs with its thick fur and life high in the mountains. It disperses plant seeds and helps maintain the diversity of the Andean forests.
