A tapir with its short, flexible snout visible.

Clue explainedFact checked

A tapir is a large mammal with a short, flexible snout and an odd number of toes on its hind feet, placing it among the odd-toed ungulates. That group also includes horses and rhinoceroses, though a tapir’s rounded body and mobile snout give it a very different look. It uses the snout to grasp leaves and other vegetation.
