The term 'long-snouted animal' can refer to two different animals: the SHREW and the TAPIR. The SHREW is a small mammal with a long, pointed snout and a long tail. It is found in many parts of the world, including Europe, Asia, and North America. The TAPIR is a large mammal with a long, flexible snout and a short tail. It is native to Central and South America, as well as parts of Southeast Asia. Both the SHREW and the TAPIR are important members of their respective ecosystems, playing an important role in the food chain.
