Read MoreCollared Peccary or Javelina (Dicotyles tajacu)
Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge
Socorro, New Mexico
I had no idea what a Collared Peccary or Javelina was until I saw them among the corn fields at Bosque del Apache. Though some people think javelina are a type of wild pig, they are actually members of the peccary family, a group of hoofed mammals originating from South America.
