Chupi our Lowland Tapir LOVES scratches! And that adorable long snout isn’t just for looks. It’s actually prehensile, meaning it’s made to wrap around and grab things. Tapirs use their noses to grab fruit, leaves, and other food. For food that may seem out of reach, a Tapir can stretch its nose way up, wrap around the morsel and pull it down to eat! 👃 #hattiesburg #mississippi #hattiesburgzoo #tapir #animalsofinstagram | Hattiesburg Zoo
