We actually saw three Javelinas (Collared Peccary) while we were visiting Santa Ana Refuge and all three took off like gangbusters as we rounded the corner. After doing some research, we learned that they are also called a skunk pig because of strong scent glands. It is a member of the peccary family, a group of hoofed mammals originating from South America. We also learned that they are aggressive and will attack humans so we're not unhappy that they took off as we approached.
