The South American tapir is the largest and heaviest animal found in South America. They can weigh up to 700 pounds (318 kg). I'm not sure what defines the largest but the green anaconda can reach lengths of up to 30 feet.
Note to Triviaballer: That source shows a Malayan tapir that has a black and white coat. The South American tapirs are solid brown. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tapir
