Nicaragua 1985: tapir, WWF issue.
I noticed some mistakes in the matching of the species on the postcards, and the species on the respective stamp. Can you see them?
"A tapir (/ˈteɪpər/ tay-pər or /təˈpɪər/ tə-peer) is a large herbivorous mammal, similar in shape to a pig, with a short, prehensile snout. Tapirs inhabit jungle and forest regions of South America, Central America, and Southeast Asia. The five extant species of tapirs are the Brazilian tapir, the Malayan tapir, Baird's tapir, the kabomani tapir, and the mountain tapir. The four species that have been evaluated (The Brazilian, Malayan, Baird's and mountain tapir) have all been classified as endangered or vulnerable. Their closest relatives are the other odd-toed ungulates, including horses and rhinoceroses."
