Tayassu

Tayassu is a genus of peccary. The only extant species is the white-lipped peccary (Tayassu pecari). Collared peccary is suggested now as a possible member of same genus. At least one extinct species, T. edensis, has been placed in the genus. Many sources regard Dicotyles as a synonym. As of December 2025, the Paleobiology Database regarded Dicotyles as a separate genus.
