Reply to comment by Throwawaycuzawkward in TIL that ruminants, such as cattle, sheep, and giraffes, do not have a top row of front teeth. They instead have a dental pad where gums meet directly to their bottom row of front teeth. by gmnitsua
That's pretty disturbing.

It would seem, but it's still a tapir. As adults they human-like teeth.
But they are still amazing little mammals who mean no harm to no one.
They just have human teeth. Which is un-avoidably weird.

Tapirs can be hundreds of pounds and one literally ripped a woman’s arm off a few years ago.
Generally they aren’t aggressive, but they can definitely wreck someone if they want to.
