Tapirus haysii, commonly known as Cope's tapir,[3] is an extinct species of tapir that inhabited North America during the early to middle Pleistocene Epoch (~2.5–1 Ma).[1] The fossil remains of two juvenile T. haysii were collected in Hillsborough County, Florida on August 31, 1963.[2] It was the second largest North American tapir; the first being T. merriami.[4]
Taprirus haysii is placed in the subgenus Helicotapirus, which also includes Tapirus veroensis and Tapirus lundeliusi.[5]
