Baird's Tapir eating Jicaro Danto at Tapir Valley

The Jicaro Danto tree is an important food source for the Baird's Tapir in northern Costa Rica. In this audio clip, you can hear a tapir approaching the tree and reaching up to pull the fruits down to the ground to eat. These fruits are very tough and tapirs are the only animals strong enough to eat them. You can also hear a pair of Crested Owls calling to each other.
