Giant tapir
The giant tapir is an extinct species of tapir that lived in southern China, with reports also suggesting it also lived in Java and Vietnam. Evidence suggests that the species first appeared in the Early Pleistocene and possibly survived until the early Holocene. It was larger on average than modern tapirs, estimations range from long and tall at the shoulders to long, and metres tall at the shoulders. It may have weighed up to. The species was also placed in its own genus of Megatapirus, however, it is now conventionally placed within Tapirus.
