Arizona Wildlife

Javelinas are rather ugly animals. They evolved in south America and migrated north. One day we saw two javelinas wandering down our street looking for food. They eat flowers, nuts, berries and most succulent plants. I could hardly believe what I was seeing!



We also saw this lizard on a hike at Pinnacle Peak Park in Scottsdale. Hikers should not let the fairly minimal height gain deceive you. There are enough ups and downs on the trail to give even the most seasoned hiker a workout.
