| 释义 | tapir noun[ C ] uk /ˈteɪ.pər/ us /ˈteɪ.pɚ/ an animal with hoofs, a long nose that bends, and a smooth coat, found in the forests of Southeast Asia and Central and South America貘（一种有蹄动物，鼻子长而弯曲，皮毛光滑，生活在东南亚、中美洲和南美洲的森林中） David Schenfeld/GettyImages Wild mammals aardvark anteater armadillo Bactrian bandicoot grizzly grizzly bear hedgehog hippopotamus honey possum panda pangolin peccary pine marten platypus spiny anteater stoat sugar glider tamandua Tasmanian devil Examples of tapirtapir Since we found few seed fragments in faeces, it appears that tapirs do not mechanically destroy the larger seeds surveyed here. In conclusion, tapirs provide a bulk seed dispersal service for very large, large and medium seeds, a form of dispersal unavailable from any other animal. They do not disperse thousands of seeds long distances to single sites as do tapirs. Each child immediately picked up the one unfamiliar toy animal (a tapir) and handed it over. We also describe and analyse the temporal occurrence of the tapir generated seed rain. Three hundred and fifty-six tapir faeces were examined. This suggests that tapirs serve as an ecosystem level process, influencing the population and community dynamics of many tropical plants. Tapirs can function as seed dispersers, as shown by the many seeds of several species that survived passage through the gut of lowland tapirs. To date, studies of tapir seed dispersal have produced only partial temporal descriptions of tapir generated seed rain. Additionally, the spatio-temporal pattern of the seed-rain and seed-shadows generated by tapirs was recorded. Tapir generated seed-rain occurred throughout the year, with seeds defecated in all months. The forest and wetland ecosystems contain more than 800 species of trees, 500 species of birds, and large populations of mammals, including monkeys, jaguars, and tapirs. This implies that tapir influenced seed germination and plant recruitment patterns are unpredictable over months and amongst years, an important consideration when trying to understand the mechanisms structuring tropical forests. Fragoso (1997) also found a clumped distribution of palms that were dispersed primarily by tapirs and secondarily by agoutis. It has been on the tapir for many years.
