Tayassu pecari White Lipped Peccary Cental/South America  Yes -- Appendix II

Peccary is a rare type of wild hog native to the central and south Americas.  The species is likely to have existed since the Pleiocine epoch.  They are listed as Vulnerable species by the IUCN.  They are hunted for their meat but natives and non-native communities.  There is evidence to show that their species has increased over the recent years.

The hides are soft, luxurious, and often used for gloves.  As they are a wild hunted animal, each pelt is very unique-- with a grain unmistakable to the trained eye.  These skins are chrome tanned.
