The Javelina

Javelinas (“HA-VUH-LEE-NAS”) get a bad rap, mostly because people confuse them with feral pigs. They may be ugly, smelly, loud, and nearsighted—but they ain't pigs. I spoke to Skeeter here, in the lot behind the La Quinta on U.S. 285, in Fort Stockton. I'll let him explain it all to you. Click here to read more about the javelina.
