They aren't related to pigs either, they're much closer related to bears.

Huh?? They are swine. They have hooves. Split hooves.

Where do you get this BEAR stuff?

I could be wrong since all I know on the matter is hearsay... but I've heard it said that genetically Javalinas are most closely related to bears and that the resemblence to old world animals like pigs is a case of parallel evolution.
