- Cover photo description:
- A Baird´s Tapir Tapirus bairdii is seen in a water reservoir in Carmelita Forestal Concession, in the Mayan Biosphere Reserve in Petén, Guatemala. Also known as the Central American tapir, this is a species native to Mexico, Central America and northwestern South America. It is one of three Latin American species of tapir. It is the largest land mammal in Central America. Like other species the mountain tapir, the South American tapir, and the little black tapir, the Baird`s tapir is commonly called danta by people in all areas. In regions around Oaxaca and Veracruz, it is referred to as the anteburro. Panamanians and Colombians call it macho de monte, and in Belize, where the Baird`s tapir is the national animal, it is known as the mountain cow. Baird`s tapir may be active at all hours, but is primarily nocturnal. It forages for leaves and fallen fruit, using well-worn tapir paths which zig-zag through the thick undergrowth of the forest. The animal usually stays close to water and enjoys swimming and wading. It generally leads a solitary life, though feeding groups are not uncommon and individuals, especially those of different ages are often observed together. The animals communicate with one another through shrill whistles and squeaks. Adults can be potentially dangerous to humans and should not be approached if spotted in the wild. The animal is most likely to follow or chase a human for a bit, though they have been known to charge and gore humans on rare occasions.
