The Malayan Tapir had to leave the rainforest because humans are cutting down their habitat. Overtime the tapir moved to the grasslands and adapted to survive. It became orange and black so it could camouflage like a Tiger and hide in the grass. It had new predators so their tails became longer and for warning other animals. They need to have better eyesight to survive in the sunny grasslands so overtime their eyes got bigger to see better. Lasly their sagittal crest, or nose, needs to become longer to help them dig into the grasslands to catch their new food, Bugs and Roots!
