Pleistocene rewilding The mountain tapir is the only extant non-tropical species of tapir. Predators of mountain tapirs include cougars, bears, and, less commonly, jaguars. Good introduction areas might include forested ecosystems of the west and east coasts, and the more scrub-like or wetland ecosystem of the south. During the Pleistocene, large populations of Proboscideans lived in North America, such as the Columbian mammoth and the American mastodon. The mastodons all became extinct at the end of the Pleistocene era, as did the mammoths of North America. However, an extant relative of the mammoth is the Asian elephant. It now resides only in
Relative clause on the forms of Latin relative pronouns, "see" the section on relative pronouns in the article on Latin declension. Ancient Greek follows the same rule as Latin.

Cognates include Sanskrit "yas, yā, yad" (where "o" changed to short "a").
