Tapirs reproduce through sexual reproduction, with a gestation period of about 13 months. Females typically give birth to a single calf, which is born in a concealed location to protect it from predators. The calf is weaned by around six months but may remain with the mother for up to a year. Tapirs reach sexual maturity between 2 to 4 years of age, depending on the species.
