American TapirThis is an absolutely beautiful design of two tapirs by a waterhole in a dense forest. The colours, ambience and portrayal of the animals are breath taking! Can you tell where the tapir fits in the animal kingdom? Despite its snout and figure, its not closely related to the elephants, pigs or a hippopotamus as one might think. The tapirs closest relatives are actually rhinoceroses and horses. They all belong to a group called the odd toed mammals.
