White Spots on Skin. 1  Vitiglio-Skin condition where the skin loses pigment or color. 2  Fungus (e.g; tinea versicolor)- A fungal infection can cause white spots on areas such as the back and chest. 3  An athletes foot or jock itch cream could be of some help.4  Fungus can also be contracted from tanning beds.hite Spots on Skin. 1  Vitiglio-Skin condition where the skin loses pigment or color. 2  Fungus (e.g; tinea versicolor)- A fungal infection can cause white spots on areas such as the back and chest. 3  An athletes foot or jock itch cream could be of some help. 4  Fungus can also be contracted from tanning beds.
Tapirs are herbivores that feed up on water plants, fruits and buds. These mammals will also eat twigs and leaves. They use their long snouts to forage along the ground in search of food. Tapirs have been known to consume up to 40 kilograms (85 pounds) of vegetation in one day.
The IUCN Red Book lists the four species of tapirs (Tapirus bairdii, T. terrestris, T. pinchaque and T. indicus) as either vulnerable or endangered. The Mountain tapir, T. pinchaque, is one of the most endangered large mammals in the world.The Bairdâs tapir, T. bairdii, is the largest land mammal in the Neotropics and also endangered. The Malayan tapir, T. indicus, is the only Old World extant species and is also endangered in Sumatra and mainland Malaysia.apirs are herbivores best suited to primary or old growth secondary forest, and their reproduction is slower than most mammal species due to a long gestation period (13 months) and to the fact that there is only one offspring per gestation.
