Read the passage below carefully and answer the questions that follow.
The tapir is a relative of horses and rhinoceros in some ways but it is quite different from the horses. The tapir is the same as horse in the sense that both have odd hoofed legs.
A tapir is usually heavy and clumsy. It is smaller than a rhinoceros and has no horns. Its head looks like a pig’s head. Like the rhinoceros, it has small eyes and short ears. The tapir’s tail is short, too.
Tapirs live in swamps and streams. You can usually find them in jungles and forests of Malaysia, Thailand, Sumatera and other tropical countries. They like to hide themselves among the leaves and tall grasses. They sleep during the day and search for food only at night.
Tapirs are herbivores. They eat leaves, fruits and other vegetation. Their senses of hearing and smelling are very good. They are also good swimmers and often find protection in the water.
