Many people think javelina are a type of wild pig but they are actually members of the peccary family, a group of hoofed mammals originating from South America. Javelina are common in southern Arizona. They use washes and areas with dense vegetation as travel corridors. They are most active at night.
Today we went for a drive north of Cave Creek and saw a "Javelina Crossing" sign.
One day a few summers ago, because I live near a large wash and golf course area, we saw two javelina cruising down our street digging up lawns and eating vegetation.....how crazy!
