The lowland tapir (Tapirus terrestris Linnaeus, 1758) is the largest mammalian herbivore in Brazil. Only small numbers remain in Atlantic Forest fragments in north-east Brazil. The population downfall of the lowland tapir is linked to hunting, and to the destruction and fragmentation of its habitat. Changes in the environment may impact the diet of this potentially at-risk mammal. We focused on tapirs living in the Mata dos Pintos, a 3 000 ha forest fragment on the Usina Serra Grande land (state of Alagoas, Brazil). We determined diet by following the paths of tapirs to collect plant species they foraged on. Foraging occurrence was assessed by visual identification of markings (teeth marks on stems and leaves) and seeds identification in th...
