Sumafremis) is found in' Sumatra, and is remarkable for the comparative absence of cutaneous folds. The best known, however, is the African Rhinoceros {R. bicornis), which occurs abundantly, in Cape Colony and in the southern parts of the African continent (fig. 216.). Fig. 216.—Head of two-horned Rhinoceros , (^. bicornis). Fam. 2. Tapiridce:—The Tapirs are characterised by the possession of a short movable proboscis or trunk. The skull is pyramidal, like that of the pigs, and the nasal bones project over the nasal cavity. The skin is hairy and very thick. The tail is extremely short. The fore-feet have four toes each, but these are unsymmetrical (the little toe being smaller than the rest and not touching the ground), and the hind-feet have only three toes, all encased in hoofs. The jaws are furnished with 7—X 7—7 incisor teeth, ( ), small canmes, and -r^Zf, ™'jl3-i"s- Three species of Tapir are known, of which the most fami- liar is the American Tapir {T. Atnericanus), which inhabits the 'ast forests of South America. It is a large animal, some- thing like a pig in shape, but brownish black in colour, and having a mane. It is nocturnal in its habits, and is strictly phytophagous. The proboscis is employed in conveying the food to the mouth, and the nostrils are placed at its extremity. It attains altogether a total length of from five to six feet. Another species, with longer hair {T. villosus), inhabits the Andes, and a still larger species {T. Malayanm is found in.
