Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Tapirus polkensis, the pygmy tapir, was a small prehistoric tapir that lived in North America during the Late Miocene and early Pliocene. It is thought that Tapirus polkensis lived in swamps, where it would have been preyed on by ancestors of modern American crocodiles. It is smaller than any extant tapir, with an estimated mass of around 125 kilograms (280 lb). It was similar to a contemporary species of prehistoric horse known as Parahippus that also inhabited North American Miocene wetlands.
