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.
Javelina, also known as collared peccaries, are primarily found in the deserts, scrublands, and arid regions of North, Central, and South America. They prefer habitats with a combination of vegetation, water sources, and open areas for foraging.
Predators of javelinas include mountain lions, bobcats, coyotes, and humans. They are known to be preyed upon by these predators due to their relatively small size and vulnerability.
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.
Besides humans, the jaguar, puma, and caiman prey on the peccary (or javelina).
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.
