An animal that would hunt a javelina is a coyote, a southwest relative of a wolf.
Jaguars, mountain lions, and coyotes are some of the predators that may eat javelinas. Additionally, humans sometimes hunt javelinas for food.
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.

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 may be active during the day when it's cold. your welcome, Michael Munoz a.k.a #1 Fly Boy!
No, a javelina is not a carnivore. Javelinas are omnivores, meaning they eat a diet that includes both plant materials like fruits, seeds, and roots, as well as small animals like insects and rodents.

Beware the javelina. There's a javelina in our bathtub!
A javelina (peccary) is a "pecarí de collar." Additionally, many Mexicans call the javelina as a javelina, which is pronounced "ha-vey-lee-na".

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.
Javalinas are not predators and don't kill "prey." They are scavengers, eating primarily plants, including cacti, succulent plants, bulbs, tubers, beans and seeds; sometimes eat insects, garbage and grubs.
