37. Watch out for the possums,
they do kill cats. They will disembowel them, & come back after they are dead to eat. Nasty animals!

Facts

Collared Peccary is the only wild, native, pig-like animal
found in the United States.

The Collared Peccary, also known as the Javelina, Tayaussa
or the Musk Hog.

They are called Javelina because of their razor-sharp tusks,
Spanish for javelin or spear.

You may smell a peccary before you see it.

The prickly pear is ideal food for the Collared
Peccary due to its high water content.

Collared Peccary have poor eyesight and good hearing.
