Ever Heard of a Javelina

Well, I just learned something with my Avery's homeschool work today. He was doing some worksheets in grammar dealing with possessive pronouns and had some sentences about a coyote and a javelina. The sentences were written much like the story of "The Three Little Pigs". After we finished the written work, I told him to come to the computer and look up a javelina. Don't know if you have ever heard or seen one but here is what we found: 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. Javelina are common in much of central and southern Arizona, including the outskirts of the Phoenix area, most of Tucson, and occasionally as far north as Flagstaff. Javelina form herds of two to more than 20 animals and rely on each other to defend territory, protect against predators, regulate temperature and interact socially. They use washes and areas with dense vegetation as travel corridors. Javelina are most active at night, but they may be active during the day when it is cold.
