But they're kinda cute, right? ;)
We actually had a sighting on the golf course! We weren't too far, but Erik dragged me away. Thinks the havalinas are dangerous or something. ;) I wasn't too far away, but I don't think they're overly smelly.

Arizona IX
Meet a havalina. They're smelly wild pigs that live near my in-laws in 'Zona. (Think the warthog from The Lion King).
But they're kinda cute, right? ;)

I hate to be like Doug A., but I believe it's spelled Javelina ... Of course, the J is silent.
I founds this :)
Though some people think javelina are a type of wild pig, they are actually members of the peccary family, a group of hoofed mammals originating from South America. Javelina are common in much of central and southern Arizona, including the outskirts of the Phoenix area, most of Tucson, and occasionally as far north as Flagstaff. Javelina form herds of two to more than 20 animals and rely on each other to defend territory, protect against predators, regulate temperature and interact socially. They use washes and areas with dense vegetation as travel corridors. Javelina are most active at night, but may be active during the day when it's cold.
*snort* *rolleyes*
Fine, I was just trying to provide some content, Mr. Picky. From now on, it's all you.

I was going to mention the whole "j" instead of "h" thing, but I let it go. I'm glad Erik took up the task for me instead. ;-)
