*** About Javelinas: Javelinas, or collared peccaries, are native to the deserts of the southwestern U.S. and Central and South America. Despite their pig-like appearance, they are not pigs but belong to the Tayassuidae family. Adapted to arid climates, javelinas have coarse hair and a significant omnivore’s diet that includes cacti, fruits, and small animals. Typically seen in herds, these creatures rely on the social structure for protection and foraging. Their presence in art highlights not only their ecological role but also the cultural significance they hold in desert folklore. Through illustrations such as this, javelinas are depicted not just as fauna, but as enduring symbols of life and resilience in harsh climates.
