The Gordinho is a species of large tapirs that inhabits the swamplands of the south Cipanguan rainforests.
Their main habitats are the vast swamplands along the western coast and the areas surrounding Lake Páscoa. Additionally there are also coastal populations further east and on the islands of New Britain within the Magellanian sea. They are generally herbivorous and semi-aquatic and can be compared to hippos in these matters. Though they also live on the forest floor and dig for roots similarly to boars. Like boars and hippos they live in packs.They are sometimes hunted by Native Magellanians. The introduction of boars from Eurasia has lead to some habitat destruction and competition. However for the most part their populations remain stable.
