ABSTRACT
This note reports a historic
record of the Central American Tapir, Tapirus bairdii, for the Coastal Plain of
the Isthmus of Tehuantepec in Oaxaca, Mexico. The record was dated to the
decade of 1950, and was found 40 km from the closest historic locality. The
presence of this species suggests two hypotheses: that the observed specimens
belong to a previously existing population in this region, or that these
specimens come from the Los Chimalapas region.
