Illustrations by Elishea Smith. © 2008 TPWD PWD BK W7000-1669 (8/08) 1 The Javelina in Texas inTroducTion Early Spanish explorers, in their ventures into the “New World,” encountered a pig-like animal similar in appearance to the swine of the “Old World.” They called the animal jabeli (Arabic-Spanish for wild boar) or jabalina (Spanish for spear, due to its spear-like teeth). Hence, the common name of javelina by which we know it today. Also described as the Mexico musk hog, the javelina or collared peccary (Tayassu [Pecari] tajacu) is only distantly related to true swine believed to have shared a common ancestor some 40 million years ago. The peccaries (Family Tayassuidae) were developing in the Western Hemisphere about the same time that swine (Family Suidae) were developing in the Eastern Hemisphere. The Javelina in Texas 2 diSTriBuTion The collared peccary has one of the largest distributions of any wild ungulate in the world, occurring from Argentina into the southwestern United States. Collared peccaries are relative new­ comers to the southwestern United States, with the first record in literature coming from 18th-century Jesuit missionaries in or around Arizona. Archeological investigations further substantiate this record, as no evidence of javelina has been found in sites dat­ ing prior to 1700.

  • Texas Wildlife Identification Guide
    TEXAS WILDLIFE IDENTIFICATION GUIDE A guide to game animals, game birds, furbearers and other wildlife of Texas. INTRODUCTION Texas game animals, game birds, furbearers and other wildlife are important for many reasons. They provide countless hours of viewing and recreational opportunities. They benefit the Texas economy through hunting and “nature tourism” such as birdwatching. Commercial businesses that provide birdseed, dry corn and native landscaping may be devoted solely to attracting many of the animals found in this book. Local hunting and trapping economies, guiding operations and hunting leases have prospered because of the abun- dance of these animals in Texas. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department benefits because of hunting license sales, but it uses these funds to research, manage and protect all wildlife populations – not just game animals. Game animals provide humans with cultural, social, aesthetic and spiritual pleasures found in wildlife art, taxidermy and historical artifacts. Conservation organiza- tions dedicated to individual species such as quail, turkey and deer, have funded thousands of wildlife projects throughout North America, demonstrating the mystique game animals have on people. Animals referenced in this pocket guide exist because their habitat exists in Texas. Habitat is food, cover, water and space, all suitably arranged. They are part of a vast food chain or web that includes thousands more species of wildlife such as the insects, non-game animals, fish and i rare/endangered species. Active management of wild landscapes is the primary means to continue having abundant populations of wildlife in Texas. Preservation of rare and endangered habitat is one way of saving some species of wildlife such as the migratory whooping crane that makes Texas its home in the winter.
