The javelina have tusks that are razor sharp. Someone asked the veternarian if she has to stitch up very many pets who were attacked by javelina. She said, “If a pet is attacked by a javelina, no stitches will be needed. I have never been able to save one pet that had been swiped by one of those wild pigs.”
Farm hogs and javelina are not from the same category. I think the javelina is from the rodent family (don’t ask me how) and I have heard they are not very good to eat. (Besides, it is against the law to injure or kill one - and if you do, it must be reported to Fish and Game Dept., and they will dispose of the carcass - and give you a major fine.)
Wow, those Pics of the Javelina are Incredible! I Wish I could get a Look at the Wild Hogs Around Here; I don’t Know if they’re the Same Kind, but the Neighbors that Live on Both Sides of me said they are Dangerous. The Hogs have Dug Out Large Holes Down in the Pasture, but so Far they themselves have Eluded my Sight.
