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!

What animals is the Javelina related to?
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.
