Tapirs

At home in the tropical forests of Central and South America, these bats feed on various animals, including tapirs, mountain lions, penguins, and, most often nowadays, livestock.

He still used subordination terms (rhinos, horses, tapirs), while Perissodactyla stood as a designation for the entire order, including the hyrax.

Horses and tapirs both evolved in North America; citation rhinoceroses appear to have developed in Asia from tapir-like animals and then colonised the Americas during the middle Eocene (about 45 Mya).

Nicaraguans also have been known to eat guinea pigs, tapirs, iguanas, turtle eggs, armadillos and boas but efforts are currently underway to curb this tendency.

Rhinos and tapirs are more closely related to each other and are offset by the horses.

Their feet are equipped with hooves, however, which cover the toe almost completely; rhinos and tapirs, by contrast, have hooves covering only the leading edge of the toes, with the bottom being soft.

The separation of horses from the rest perissodactyls carried out according molecular genetic analysis in the Paleocene before about 56 million years ago, while the rhinos and tapirs in the lower middle Eocene split before about 47 million years.
