Tapir coloring pages

Some animals don’t look quite like anything else, and that’s what makes these tapir coloring pages so interesting for kids. With their rounded bodies and short, flexible snouts, tapirs feel a little mysterious and different from the animals most children already know.

Tapirs live in dense forests of Central and South America, and some species can also be found in parts of Asia. They prefer quiet places near rivers and streams, where they can hide in thick plants. Tapirs are mostly active at night, feeding on leaves, buds, and other soft vegetation.

These pages invite kids to explore gentle curves, solid shapes, and calm animal expressions. Some children enjoy natural browns and grays, while others create colorful, imaginative versions. All sheets are available as free printables, so they’re easy to download, print, and enjoy whenever creativity feels right.
