Young javelina are called "javelina piglets" or simply "piglets." They are born with a distinctive striped pattern that helps them blend into their surroundings for protection. These piglets typically stay close to their mother and are cared for by the entire sounder, or group, of javelina. As they grow, they lose the stripes and develop the adult coloration.

What does a javelina look like?

You are correct, Javelina look very similarly to a wild pig with one exception...Javelina do not have tails like the pig. They also have a whitish collar around their necks....hence the name Collard Peccary. Their babies are called "Little Reds" because when they are just born, they are reddish in color and look like baby rabbits. While young, the babies walk behind their mothers back legs for protection. The entire herd of Javelina will protect the babies from predators. Usually there is a Matriarchal leader of the herd.
