The adult ones look like someone's got carried away with tidying things up

Cunning colour scheme that would allow it to hide on a Zebra crossing.
Not sure how useful that is in the Amazonian wilderness where it'll stick out like sore thumb, but there you go...

It's about the same colour as our neighbours' cat.

Maybe they don't fear predators because of their amazing self defence mechanism of giving anyone running near them cramp?

'Though they appear densely built, tapirs are at home in the water and often submerge to cool off. They are excellent swimmers and can even dive to feed on aquatic plants. They also wallow in mud, perhaps to remove pesky ticks from their thick hides.'
So a threat in the swim, not sure about bike and run but they look quite aero.
Hope there aren't too many in M50-54.....
