Not on purpose. Tapir are herbivores. They eat leaves, fallen fruit, buds, and twigs. If a beetle gets mixed in there, I don't know if they spit it out or swallow it.
they eat tapir, monkeys, several birds and insects.
Glad that you asked.....A tapir is an omnivore and almost everybody thinks that it's a vegetarian. But one day my friend Jeremy and I went to the Amazon Rainforest in South America and we saw a tapir hunting for several baby toucans and ate some plants so a tapir is an omnivore. So back to the question, the tapir consists a diet of berries, leaves and fruit but a tapir also eats baby toucans, banded rattlesnakes and some tapirs, fish hope this helped and I am not lying because My friend Jeremy and I actually saw a baby toucan being eaten by a tapir if you want the specific tapir type its the Brazilian Tapir HOPED THIS HELPED!
Humans have been known to hunt the tapir for its meat and skin. Some species of tapir are threatened or endangered for this reason.
