Follow your nose! For a Baird's tapir this is the best advice. Tapirs have a prehensile proboscis 👃 that allows them to navigate bark on branches, and grasp grasses. Check out our terrific tapir Tupi as he uses his flexible snout to grip the branch, then tear the bark off with his teeth. Thank you animal care specialist Tessa for capturing the moment! 📹 #Tapir #BairdsTapir #ReidParkZoo #EndangeredSpecies | Reid Park Zoo

The trusty trunk’s abilities don’t end there! It also serves as a snorkel when the tapir is underwater. Last but not least, the tapir uses its excellent sense of smel

Chupi our Lowland Tapir LOVES scratches! And that adorable long snout isn’t just for looks. It’s actually prehensile, meaning it’s made to wrap around and grab things. Tapirs use their noses to grab fruit, leaves, and other food. For food that may seem out of reach, a Tapir can stretch its nose way up, wrap around the morsel and pull it down to eat! 👃 #hattiesburg #mississippi #hattiesburgzoo #tapir #animalsofinstagram | Hattiesburg Zoo

The adorable newborn tapir calf is already mastering the art of wiggling its tiny trunk. 🥰 Baby tapirs use their tiny trunks for sniffing, exploring, and even grasping small objects. Their trunks are an extended upper lip and nose, which helps them sense their surroundings and forage for food as they grow. 📹: Keeper Chrissy | Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium
