3. Drowzee Is A Malayan Tapir

What Is It?

Like Drowzee, the Malayan Tapir has a two toned body (to help it camouflage in moonlit forests), and a long, almost elephant like snout. Unlike Drowzee, the Malayan Tapir will not sneak up to your whilst sleeping and eat your dreams (as far as we know).

Fun Fact:

The nose of the tapir is prehensile, meaning that it can be used to pick things up, but it can also be used as a handy snorkel. Also, a group of tapirs is called a "candle", because scientists are hilarious.
