Long-snouted mammal (5)

I believe the answer is:

tapir

(Other definitions for tapir that I've seen before include "Hoofed mammal; I trap (anag.)" , "creature" , "nocturnal beast" , "A trip (anag) - animal" , "Ungulate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, the USA Today, the Evening Standard and the Newsday.
