Malayan Tapir

Species principle: Contrast Camouflage

Hide in contrast.

A bold contrast can hide a body when the shadows already speak in patches.

Malayan Tapirs have a black-and-white saddle pattern that disrupts their outline in dark forest. They browse with flexible snouts and move through dense tropical habitats.
