Yes, they are really called “piglings,” even though javelina aren’t really pigs. These tiny cuties were frolicking among and eating the fallen palo verde blossoms. Javelina aka collared peccary have abysmal eyesight, but a brilliant sense of smell. Thanks to their vision deficit, behaviour can be unpredictable, especially when babies are in tow, so always respect the space of these bizarre desert dwellers!
