THE MALAYAN TAPIR. The Malayan Tapir inhabits Java and Sumatra. The broad, white bandon its flanks is its most conspicuous feature. In size it is rather larger, if any-thing, than its American brother, while in habits the two are exactly alike. TheMalayan tapir does not swim as much as the American species, but, neverthe-less, among the natives it is known as the river-horse, a term also applied tothe hippopotamus of Africa. The natives usually catch the tapir in pit-falls, for their bows and arrowsare not strong enough to penetrate its skin. 3 >;.;?? i. MALAYAN TA1TR.
