"^- TAt'lH,âriiy/inis terrestris. The common or American Tapie, sometimes called the INIborebi, is a native of tropical America, where it is found in great numbers, inhabiting the denselv wooded regions that fringe the banks of rivers. It is a gi-eat water-lover, and ran swim or dive with perfect ease. Although a large animal, being nearly four feet in height, and very strongly made, it falls a victim to many destroyers, the jaguar being the mo.st terrible of its enemies. It is said that when the jaguar lijajis upon the Taiiir's back, the afirighted animal rushes tlirough the brushwood in liojies (if sweeping away its deadly foe, and if it be fortunate enough ti) gain the rivers Inuik, Mill plunge into the water, and force the jaguar, who is no diver, to relinriuish his hold. The tough, thick hide, with which the Tapir is covered IS of great service in enabling the animal t- pursr its headlong course through the forest without siilferiiig injury fioiii the liranches. A\ nen it runs, it carries its head very low, as does the wild boar under similar circumstan es. In disposition the Tapir is very gentle, a . does not attack human beings except when wouiuled and driven to bay. It then becomes a fierce and determined opponent, and is capable of inflicting severe wounds with its powerful teeth. The hunter's dogs are often dangerously won .ded by the teeth of the despairing Tapir. The voice of the Tapir is a curious shrill kind of whistling sound, which is but seldom uttered. The senses of the animal are very acute, and its sight, hearing, and scent appear to be equally sensitive. During the daytime it is seldom seen, preferring to lie quietly hidden in the deep uiiderwooil dui'ing the liotter hours of the day, and to emerge at night in order to obtain fond and meet its companions. The nocturnal journeys which the Tapir v 11 make are of considerable extent, and the animal luoceeds straight'onwards, heedless of bank or river, suniiounting the one and swimming the other with equal ease. The food of the Tapir is generally of a vegetai)le nature, and consists of young branches anil various wild fruits, such as gotirds and melons.
