Tayassu pecari is a medium-sized mammal with a

large triangular head and slim legs. It is mainly blackish brown and has a white patch along its lower jaw, cheek, and throat ( Reid 2009). This species could be confused with Dicotyles crassus , but D. crassus is smaller and does not have the white patch ( Reid 2009).
