Domestic tapir (SciiFii)

The domestic tapir (Tapirus domestica) is a species of tapir that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii due to a demand for more kinds of pets. The closest living relative of the domestic tapir is the South American tapir (Tapirus terrestris). The domestic tapirs are much more adaptable to a wider range of habitats and can feed on a wider assortment of vegetation than most tapirs. There are more than 200 breeds of domestic tapirs that are bred across the world, ranging from about the size of a small poodle to the largest breeds that are about the size of an miniature zebu. The domestic tapir is one of the most popular large exotic mammals as pets, due to being easy to keep, train, and care for, along with having a docile and tame nature, as well as being able to breed extremely well in captivity, being able to produce between 2 and 5 young on average in just 3-4 months, being more comparable in reproduction to pigs than other tapirs.
