Hi, my name
is Taps and I am a member of the Coca-Cola International
Bean Bag Collection. I am a tapir and I represent the country
of Venezuela.
Tapirs are large woodland creatures forming
the family Tapiridae of the order Perissodactyla with four front
toes and three hind toes.
They are massively built with the nose
and upper lip forming a short flexible trunk. There are four
species living in South and Central America. Tapirs are nocturnal
or night dwelling.
They are shy and solitary and eat a vegetarian
diet.
