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.

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.

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.
