My name is Malayan Tapir.I am a vegetarian. I like to eat leaves, fruits, and sprouts of plants. My nose has many functions! I use it to eat, to breathe and also I use it to feel if I am in danger. When I meet my enemies, I will run out of the forest quickly, and jump into the water in order to hide. At this time, I will stretch my nose out of water to breathe. If I can not escape in time, I will sit down to pretend to be a big stone. My enemies will be deceived so I will still survive. How clever I am!
