Registro histórico del tapir centroamericano Tapirus bairdii en el istmo de Tehuantepec, Oaxaca, México

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.
