Greg saied nothing about the family of the Moropus, only the fact that a Loper is like a Moropus. In a (german) Book for prehistoric animals the Moropus appears in the pages of the Tapir-family related animals. If it is wrong, who cares. I wanted to know what a Loper looked like, and i got my answed from Greg, that is all that counts for me.
