Answer 23

That is a Tapir. To be more precise, from its coloration, its a Malayan Tapir. Malayan Tapirs are usually black or dark brown, with a silver grey rear half.

It is goofy looking, but probably one of my favorite animals to see at the zoo.

Answer 24

Definitely a Malayan tapir. Tapirs belong to the order Perissodactyla (odd-toed ungulates), like horses and rhinos. There are four species, the other three of which are all found in South America.

For those who said aardvark, they look like this:
