Information about the Mountain Tapir: The Mountain Tapir – also called the Woolly Tapir – is the second smallest of the five species of tapir (only the recently described Tapirus kabomani being smaller but there is no consensus that this is a new species) It is the only tapir that doesn’t live in tropical rainforests. It is most easily distinguished from other tapirs by its thick woolly coat and white lips. The species name comes from the term “La Pinchaque”, an imaginary beast said to inhabit the same regions as the mountain tapir The poster is printed on matte, museum-quality paper with Giclée printing quality: • Paper thickness: 10.3 mil • Paper weight: 5.6 oz/y² (192 g/m²) • Opacity: 94% Buy a Digital Download
