Tapirus veroensis is an extinct tapir species that lived in the area of the modern eastern and southern United States during the Pleistocene epoch (Irvingtonian-Rancholabrean).

[1] The taxonomy of Pleistocene North American tapirs has long been the subject of confusion, with many named species now recognised as synonyms of T. veroensis.

[2] T. veroensis was coeval with T. merriami and T. californicus, native to Western North America, but their poor preservation makes their relationships to other tapirs uncertain.

[6] T. veroensis has been found in Jones Springs (Missouri) deposits in association with deciduous trees and American alligators.

[3] Specimens from Crankshaft Pit, Missouri, in contrast were found in association with cold adapted animals like Arctic shrews, Northern bog lemmings, snowshoe hares, southern red-backed voles, etc.
