Giant tapir(ancient tapir)

Suggestion

The giant tapir (Tapirus augustus) is an extinct species of tapir that lived in southern China, Vietnam and Laos, with reports suggesting it also lived in Taiwan, Java, and potentially Borneo.
The species has been recorded from Middle and Late Pleistocene.
There is only weak evidence for a Holocene survival.
Tapirus augustus was larger than any living tapir, with an estimated weight of about 623 kilograms (1,373 lb).
The species was also placed in its own genus of Megatapirus, however, it is now conventionally placed within Tapirus.
Despite not being named until 1923, the Palaeontological Museum, Munich Paleontologist Max Schlosser described several teeth purchased from Chinese drug stores in 1903 that he assigned to Tapirus sinensis.
Some of the teeth had been unearthed at the Chang I locality in Wanzhou, Eastern Sichuan, China that come from the Pleistocene strata of the area.
Tapirus augustus was first described in 1923 William Diller Matthew and Walter Granger based on fossils found by the American Museum of Natural History during the Central Asiatic Expeditions of 1920–1930. The fossils had been recovered just a few miles from the site where many of the teeth described by Schlosser had been found.

In the game, it is a friendly herbivore that lives near water, sticks its face into bushes to scavenge, and is unusually nocturnal among herbivores in ARK.
During the day, they may sleep quietly in places where predators, predators, cannot be found.
However, if you approach a sleeping Giant tapir, it will immediately get up and run away.
It flees equally well when attacked or attacked by a carnivore, but as fast as an Equus.
Taming
Giant tapirs are nocturnal, so taming should be done at night.
Primarily a coma tamer, it feeds on berries, vegetables, cakes, and Kibbles.
As for Kibbles, we recommend Kibble (Argentavis Egg).
After taming
Even if you tame it, it will still be nocturnal and will fall asleep during the day, but you can force it to wake up when you ride it with a special saddle that can be made at level 27.
Also, as a special action, there is a movement called "yawning", and by yawning, you can force surrounding creatures to sleep.
However, since there is a 10 second cooldown, it is not possible to use yawns continuously, and only a small number of creatures such as wyverns and tamed players cannot be forced to sleep. can force other tamed creatures to fall asleep along with wild creatures.
After that, it is possible to take a lot of berries.
