Maybe you don't know what a Tapir is, maybe you've seen one at a zoo.
Well if you're as confused as we are by the Tapir, NatGeo has a video explaining everything.
Check out the half-horse, half-rhino, elephant-looking, mountain "cow" in the above video.

Hi there little guy!
A 5-week-old baby Tapir, Kejutan, has made his first appearance at the Port Lympne Wild Animal Park in England.
Tapirs live in the forest where they scavenge leaves, buds, shoots and twigs using their prehensile snouts. Kinda like mini elephant trunks.
Tapirs are shy, solitary animals who are active mainly at night. They also look like pig/zebra/mini elephant hybrids.
Yet they still somehow pull off cuteness. Maybe it's just a baby thing.
