*** About Javelinas: Known scientifically as Pecari tajacu, javelinas are not pigs but belong to the peccary family and are native to Central and South America and the southwestern United States. They are often seen in small herds and can adapt to a variety of habitats. Javelinas are recognized by their coarse salt-and-pepper hair, a marked band of white hair around their necks, and short legs. Despite their rugged appearance, they are quite social creatures, relying on their herd for protection against predators and for social interaction. Their presence in southwestern art and culture signifies their importance and adaptability in these landscapes where they are a common sight, playing crucial roles in their ecosystems.
