Slideshow Index: Javalina Parade

Home

• Around fifteen javalinas paraded by our patio in early March
• A momma and two cubs
• They are peccaries, not swine, and can attack if provoked
• The males weigh between 25 and 55 pounds
• Another cub trails along
• The males have a scent gland on their backs and stink like civets.
• Another two
• My bike in the foreground
• I posted a short video on youtube. Search on "anelson55447 javalinas"
• Towards the end of the parade
• This male came back to make sure everyone got through OK.
• He was the largest of this group
