Peccary

I can't seem to get enough javelina content, and thankfully, I have found some social media accounts that provide a plethora of peccary pleasures.

A fourth as yet unconfirmed species, the giant peccary (Pecari maximus), was described from the Brazilian Amazon and north Bolivia Moravec, J., & Böhme, W. (2009).

The Chacoan peccary has the unusual distinction of having been first described based on fossils and was originally thought to be only an extinct species.

The collared peccary is well adapted to habitat disturbed by humans, merely requiring sufficient cover; they can be found in cities and agricultural land throughout their range.

Though relatively recently discovered, it has been known to the local Tupi people as caitetu munde, which means "great peccary which lives in pairs".
