Videos recorded with infrared camera traps placed in petroleum contaminated areas of the Peruvian Amazon have shown that four wildlife species, the most important for indigenous peoples' diet (lowland tapir, paca, red-brocket deer and collared peccary), consume oil-contaminated soils and water. Further research is needed to clarify whether Amazonian wildlife's geophagy can be a route of exposure to petrogenic contamination for populations living in the vicinity of oil extraction areas and relying on subsistence hunting.
红外相机陷阱在秘鲁亚马逊石油污染地区拍摄的视频显示，四种对土著居民饮食最重要的野生动物（低地貘、水豚、红鹿和颈背野猪）会食用受石油污染的土壤和水。需要进一步研究，以明确亚马逊野生动物的食土习性是否会成为生活在石油开采区附近并依赖狩猎维持生计的人群接触原生污染的途径。
