A havolina, also known as a peccary, is a medium-sized, pig-like mammal native to the Americas. They belong to the family Tayassuidae and are typically found in forests, grasslands, and deserts. Havolinas have sturdy bodies, short legs, and a distinctive snout, and they often live in social groups. They primarily feed on fruits, roots, and small animals, playing an important role in their ecosystems as seed dispersers.
