Arizona Wildlife

This is the craziest thing I have ever seen since we have been in Arizona. Stuart was at work where they are building a highway and bridges and he came across a pack of wild javelina! My dear, sweet husband (being the avid hunter he is) gets out of his truck with his camera to have a closer look. When he took this picture, he was pretty close to this javelina, and probably a couple hundred feet from his truck. The only thing between him and this pig was a large construction dumpster. I guess he figured if something went south, he could dumpster dive. Anyway, he got close enough that the hair stood up on the pig's back and head (see picture). He didn't get chased but he is a crazy man!

How funny! I think that is actually a javalina. Not that I've ever seen one myself...especially not up close and personal!

Actually, I confirmed that with my hubby and fixed the post. It is a Javalina. He is still crazy!
