And this is how I know that hand gun hunting is an actual, legally prescribed season... Nice, huh?! A co-worker of ours hunts them with a hand gun.

Not realizing they were dangerous. I was throwing the fallen acorns their way. They're beautiful, I think, in their unique javelina way.. I’ve seen them before, in Big Bend National Park.

This was about 6 hours after seeing a rattlesnake on their back porch. Amazing. Scary Amazing.

I look out my front door to a street with sidewalks, tons of parked cars, and people walking dogs. I hear the train in the distance and have many shops and places to eat within a few blocks. I am fascinated by your "pigs" and this story. Gosh we live in such different worlds. I look out my front door to a street with sidewalks, tons of parked cars, and people walking dogs.

Okay, they would scare me a little (or a lot, depending on size and quantity) if I ran into any in real life. Dude, I'm so dumb I thought it spelled with an "h". Thank you!!

They especially like the grape hyacinths, always leaving a few little bulblets behind for next year. When food gets scarce in the woods, they show up for any edible succulent plant (that includes California poppy roots.) I'm less than a mile from the city square and yet these critters have a routine path down the hill through my yard. In fact, they sometimes wallow up the hill away from the house.

Gorgeous pictures! And heartbreaking story about the baby and parent pig! I have heard that peccaries have a particular pungent smell (alliteration was unintentional). What does Emme Lu think of them? Oh! Gorgeous pictures! And heartbreaking story about the baby and parent pig!
