Yes. Tapirs are part of a group known as the 'odd-toed ungulates', or Perissodactyla, which also includes horses and rhinos.

While called 'odd-toed ungulates', it's not entirely accurate since most tapirs have 4 hooves on each front foot, and 3 on each hind foot.

Species like the mountain tapir in Peru are endangered because they are hunted for their hooves, which are used in traditional medicine.
