CORNVILLE, Ariz. - A javelina on the hunt for a midnight snack got a little more than it bargained for when it jumped inside an open car in a small Arizona town.
The Yavapai County Sheriff's Office said a deputy responded to a report on April 6 of a javelina stuck inside a car at a home in Cornville.
"When the Deputy arrived at the scene, there was a Subaru Station Wagon containing a wild javelina stuck inside," the sheriff's office said.
After speaking with neighbors and the owner of the Subaru, the deputy learned that the javelina jumped inside the open hatchback of the car to finish off a bag of Cheetos.

Is an Arizona javelina like a Carolina cougar?
I think it’s more like a DC sasquatch.
Nope
Never heard of a Javelina, had to look it up. One nasty looking animal.
Those are good eating and I’m not referring to the Cheetos.
We hunted javelinas when I was stationed in West Texas. Made good BBQ.
“The javelina tore off part of the dashboard, a portion of the interior passenger door, and knocked the Subaru into neutral, causing it to roll out of the driveway and across the street.”
They don’t have emergency brakes on California vehicles?
“hops into car to eat Cheetos (and wrecks interior)”
So who hasn’t done that at least once?
Could be a cougar without makeup or the benefit of beer goggles.
A javelina is a pig like peccary . They are mean, stinky and very common in Arizona. Yavapai County is the most northern and westernmost area they live in.

The % of people who set the parking brake in an automatic car is around 10%.
Is that the eight legged variety?
Javelina? What’s that?
Oh, a Wild Boar. Got it.
The term Javelina sounds nifty, has style.
One time when I was visiting Sedona, we were stopped at a stop light waiting to make a turn into a place we were going for breakfast. While wating, crossing the street, and heading up an ebankment off to our right side, marched a whole clan of Javalenas (more than a dozen) with a mother and two little ones at the end. We were all so inthralled watching them that none of us used our cell phones to take a picture.
Been driving for over 60 years and never engaged the emergency brake. Was I wrong?
Javelinas smell so bad that hunters can smell them and don’t need dogs.
> Those are good eating
The coyotes certainly think so. They pick them off in the alley the night before trash day, don’t leave much un-et. We were walking along and my dog found a javelina foot left after the latest massacre. She had followed the blood scent with her snout up waving in the breeze. When we arrived at the scene there was blood and bits of fur and hooves all around. My dog was very upset I wouldn’t let her keep her prize...
GD rodents!
That is what they are.

Actually not a boar but very pig-like. A large male might weigh up to 100 pounds and are very mean and stinky. They love knocking over trash cans and defecating in the neighborhoods next to mine.
