$The collared peccary (Dicotyles tajacu) is a species of artiodactyl (even-toed) mammal in the family Tayassuidae found in North, Central, and South America. It is the only member of the genus Dicotyles. They are commonly referred to as javelina, saíno, or báquiro, although these terms are also used to describe other species in the family. The species is also known as the musk hog. In Trinidad, it is colloquially known as quenk.\nAlthough somewhat related to true Old World pigs, and frequently referred to as a pig, this species and the other peccaries are no longer classified in the pig family, Suidae. Although formerly classified in the genus Pecari, studies in 2020 placed them in the genus Dicotyles, based on an unequivocal type-species selection; these studies have been accepted by the American Society of Mammalogists. Currently, the IUCN still places them in the genus Pecari.$

Young wild javelina juveniles lay side by side in the morning sunshine before starting their day. The collared peccary has a strong resemblance to pigs. Like pigs, it has a snout ending in a cartilagenous disc, and eyes that are small relative to its head. Also like pigs, it uses only the middle two digits for walking, although, unlike pigs, the other toes may be altogether absent. Peccaries are omnivores, and will eat small animals, although their preferred food consists of roots, grass, seeds, fruit, and cacti - particularly prickly pear cacti. They have a distinct obnoxious body odor that can be detected upon approaching them - often this betrays their presence before seeing them. Yavapai County, Arizona, 2012.
