A javelina is also known as a peccary or a skunk pig, and can be found in the southwestern areas of North America and throughout Central and South America. While javelinas look similar to pigs, particularly their snouts, they are not part of the pig family.
Unlike pigs, Javelinas cannot be domesticated as pets as they are generally too aggressive in nature. Javelinas mark their territories with their scent which can be smelt by humans which is how they have been given the name of skunk pig.
