Deep in the rainforests of Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra, southern Thailand, and Myanmar moves an animal that seems half black, half white, and completely out of place among the greens of the jungle. This is the Malayan tapir (Tapirus indicus), the largest and only surviving tapir species in Asia. Though its appearance might remind you of a panda, it is actually a distant relative of rhinos and horses, part of the group known as odd-toed ungulates.
