Tapir in Rincon de La Vieja National Park

This is a video of a wild tapir taken by our friend Dani - a local Costa Rican neighbour. I spend a lot of time with Dani riding horses in the mountains. He is a real "Jungle Jim" and knows the area very well. He found this tapir near our home a few kilometers into the park. He took the video with his phone. The noises are real from the tapir who is somewhat agitated. The tapir weighs about 400 kilos according to Dani. They can be quite dangerous if they have young or are cornered. Dani said this was a big male and fortunately did not charge. Pretty exciting stuff! This is the real thing just like National Geographic!
