Tapirus terrestris
Like the other American tapirs (the mountain tapir, the South American tapir, and the little black tapir), the Baird's tapir is commonly called "danta" by people in all areas. In the regions around Oaxaca and Veracruz, it is referred to as the "anteburro". Panamanians, and Colombians call it "macho de monte", and in Belize, where the Baird's tapir is the national animal, it is known as the mountain cow.
