Do humans eat tapirs

Answer 1

You certainly like can. Wild tapir is a healthy and nourishing alternative to farmed pork, and is gaining in popularity in many Western countries due to its (relatively) low saturated fat and cholesterol levels. As a general rule, however, the tapir should be cut up BEFORE you cook it, otherwise you will need some very large cooking utensils! You can roast them whole over a wood fire, though, as my grandmother used to do on special occasions when I was a child.

Answer 2

Yes. Tapirs are hunted for their hide and meat. According to some scholars, the tapir is even kosher according to Jewish law since it meets the criteria of "chews the cud and splits the hoof." Other scholars argue that since the tapir is classified as swine, it is not kosher.

Answer 3

I suppose you could, but since they are a highly endangered species, that would be illegal.

Answer 4

Jaguars eat tapirs.

Answer 5

No Tapirs eat plants.
