Javelina:
A pig with the same body size as a large German Shephard, with three inch tusks, and knowing how to use them, and known to run in packs, and do produce many more piglets than the same number of German Shepherds in the same size pack, and with the those tusks, and if signaled by their scent gland on their backs, ALL will become very nasty, very quickly.

30 to 40 lbs is about average for a Javalina, a big male can hit 50. 1 1/2 inch is about average for teeth and they can do some damage. The female usually gives birth to 4 (Red’s) per year. The herd or pack usually consists of a dominate female and and younger females with Red’s. While I’ve seen groups of 15 to 20 most average about 8 to 10. They have 2 sets of scent glands one at the rear of the back and by their eyes. They are not Pig’s!
