The tapir can run quickly when threatened or frightened, and if forced to fight can defend itself with its strong jaws and sharp teeth.

Malayan tapir is the largest of the four extant tapir species and grows to between 1.8 and 2.5 m (5 ft 11 in and 8 ft 2 in) in length, not counting a stubby tail of only 5 to 10 cm (2.0 to 3.9 in) in length, and stands 90 to 110 cm (2 ft 11 in to

Malayan tapir is about 390–395 days, after which a single calf is born that weighs around 6.8 kg (15 lb). Malayan tapirs are the largest of the four tapir species at birth and tend to grow more quickly than their relatives. Young tapirs of all species have brown hair with

Malayan tapirs can defend themselves with their very powerful bite; in 1998, the bite of a captive female
Malayan tapir named Melody severed off a zookeeper's left arm at the mid-bicep (which was too mangled to be reattached), likely because she stood between her and her offspring.

Malayan tapirs have very poor eyesight, both on land and in water, instead relying heavily on their excellent senses of smell and hearing to navigate and forage. Their eyes are small and, like many herbivores, positioned on the sides of the face. They have brown irises, but the
