Book Description
Grunting and grumbling, something scuffles through the desert. A pungent smell hangs in the air. Is it a pig? A hog? A wildebeest? No. It's a collared peccary, better known as a javelina. In Lauray Yule's Javelinas you will also learn that They are nearly blind Grunting and teeth-popping noises are distinctive to each herd Javelina hide was highly coveted in the 1920s and 1930s for in making gloves and jackets Their bristles made excellent shaving brushes Relative newcomers to the West, javelinas have slowly migrated north from South America While most humans never see a javelina, they fascinate-and occasionally annoy-Western visitors and residents alike. Roots, prickly pear cactus, garden flowers and garbage are equally attractive to these omnivorous beasts. In spite of their bristly pelts and razor-sharp teeth, javelinas are quiet and family oriented animals and are very tolerant of their frisky piglings. 30 photos & illustrations.
