If you've spent time in the American Southwest, you may have encountered a small, pig-like creature rummaging through the desert underbrush. This is the javelina, a tough and resourceful animal that plays a vital role in the ecosystem. Though often mistaken for a wild pig, the javelina has a unique identity and an interesting place in the wildlife of the desert.
Javelinas typically weigh between 35 and 60 pounds, with coarse, bristly fur that is dark gray to brown. A distinctive white collar around their shoulders gives them their “collared” name. They have small, sharp tusks, which they use for defense and foraging. They are social animals that live in herds, typically consisting of 6 to 12 individuals, though larger groups are not uncommon. Thier strong social bonds help them protect each other from, predators such as coyotes, mountain lions and bobcats.
Javelinas thrive in a variety of habitats, but they are most commonly found in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. Their strong sense of smell helps them navigate their environment, locate food, and communicate with their herd.
While javelinas are generally not aggressive, they can be defensive if they feel threatened—especially when protecting their young.
