[QUOTE=frozenbunnysteak;218306]As an animal, I’m all pro tapir, but surely in this setting any live specimens would have been eaten quite a while ago.
I can see a gene bank being kept, but even that would take resources to keep refrigerated.
Perhaps they have some sci/fi way of keeping it cool.
I would certainly be amused if there was a mission to protect a tank or shipment of Tapir “genetic material” that the resistance was planning on stealing for food…[/QUOTE]
tapirs are too awesome to be eaten.
The are probably worshiped and have evolved into tapirs of the sea.
