The Baird’s tapir is the largest land mammal in Central America. They can grow to over eight feet in length and weigh almost 900 pounds. This one was a big male that I photographed crossing a river in Corcovado National Park in south western Costa Rica. Nikon D700 with Nikkor 70-200mm lens (at 175mm) ISO 3200, f/2.8 at 1/60th of a second
Like hippos, it’s hard to comprehend how something so heavy can float and swim in the water! BTW, do you carry more than one camera body with you when you photography wildlife?
