My Funny Picture

What in the world is this animal in Bolivia?

My Uncle just got back and showed me some pics. I want to know what this animal is. He said it was totally sweet. Looks like a pig, rat, and a pachyderm all had a baby. Strange. Thanks for your help. 10 points for the first correct answer. Picture: http://family.webshots.com/photo/2611598110060515656mbnCZw

2. Tapir. This animal also exists in the Brazil and it is called of Anta, when we want to offend a woman for her not to be intelligent we say that she is a Anta. http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anta http://www.tapirback.com/tapirgal/pictures.htm
3. This animal is a "Tapir" (a.k. "Anta"). The tapir is a mammalian herbivore and it has a curious aspect. It has short legs, the hair can vary from black to red; it also has a black mane that extends from the opposite half of the back.
4. Tapir they live in Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Brazil, and of course Bolivia
