The tapir is related to the horse and the rhino but the tapir has a very cool nose that neither the horse nor the rhino can come close to! The tapir’s nose can

almost act like fingers when pulling out and sorting leaves for eating.

The Tapir

The tapir nose is actually two snouts that can move back and forth to help them sort through food. They also have interesting

feet!
