Animal taken for a trip? (5)

I believe the answer is:

tapir

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'animal' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'taken for a trip?' is the wordplay.
'a trip' can be anagrammed to 'TAPIR'.
Though, I'm unsure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tapir that I've seen before include "Tropical hoofed mammal with a flexible proboscis" , "A trip (anag) - animal" , "Nocturnal mammal with a short flexible proboscis" , "Animal with elongated snout" , "Hoofed mammal; I trap (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
