Tapir Bait.
Have you tried using dried banana chips? Available in Costa Rica are 
banana chips made from green plantains. Light and easy to pack. 
Probably would not be hard to contract a campesino to do this for a 
low but reasonable cost.

We were just wondering if the banana flavoring and honey was used on wild or
captive tapirs. The reason we have stayed away from the abstracts we've
encountered is because we didn't think the tapirs would smell them from a
good distance away the way they smell ripe bananas. What type of banana
flavoring is it?-cooking flavoring? Could you tell me the brand name? Thanks
a ton. Charles and Sonia
