What animals is the Javelina related to?

Pigs and maybe hippos. Javalinas are peccaries, which are a separate family from common pigs, because of anatomical differences. This is why the javalina is also known as the collared peccary. Some people mix them up with wild pigs, such as boar, becaues they look like wild pigs, to which they are related. Wild pigs in North America are either descended from escaped farm animals or were introduced for hunting purposes. The common pig is Eurasian in origin. If the hippo part turns out to be the case, then that will include whales and dolphins too since cetaceans and hippos are related. In the American Southwest and parts of Mexico. the javelinas ARE hunted and eaten as pigs, and these people are not interested in the taxonomy.
