She did not bite me, I took my hand away when her nose touched me. She did nothing wrong, so why would I call anyone after all I’m a professional. Please quit making assumptions and choose kindness.
@craigallen289 Just last week here in Tucson a lady was feeding a local squadron of javelina when one spooked and bite her as part of the carrot she was feeding it. Fish and game came out and destroyed the seven animals as a precautionary because they couldn't identify the biter. Of course your not supposed to feed them but in her kindness she got the whole squadron killed. My minor is in urban wildlife management (UofA). Speaking of assumptions, I am considered by many to be a very kind and caring person. As to "I' am a professional. ", so was Steve Irwin. Get my drift?
@@randmayfield5695 I agree with everything you say here, except the attacks on me because it is clear from my videos that I never feed these wild animals. I am simply talking them through this portion of my yard to protect my little dogs most evenings because my past/present neighbors were not smart like you and I and chose to feed wild life. Karen hand feeding carrots to wild Javelina is the problem. The fact she caused the slaughter of so many precious souls is horrific.
I was told about Javelinas in Arizona yesterday, never heard of it in Canada before. She said like a pig, but not really a pig. Funny, it's just a wild pig in a smaller size😊 How adorable! Like any pig, do not back away when they charge, than you lost. Use a board or garbage can lid, but you move them. This one seems to young to have tusks. Love our domestic once❤
@@pawsforblessings127 Wherever you looked it up, the info is wrong. Javelinas are Family Tayassuidae, pigs are Family Suidae. They have similarities, but also a lot of differences, and in terms of both genetics and cladistics, theyre about as close to a pig as a golden retriever is to a grizzly bear, and a bit more distant than a camel is from an alpaca
@@BroadwayRonMexico Thank you for the info. But the explanation that they are a wild pig that came up from the Mexico area is good enough for me. It still looks like a pig, it acts like a pig, so I would know how to deal with it. But in reality, it will not make it that for north that I worry about it. Clearly not a domestic pig breed or close to our wild once. But what I was given as explanation is good enough for me.
This one was bringing the crowd, including the young ones around across the houses along the national forest. Most of my yard is wild and they come through every night, but I have a tiny Rockwall where my little dogs just go out my lower deck, so when they come in there, I just go out and let them know there’s no food but only humans here, but I’m very gentle to them. A lot of people consider them peccaries. This one did have tusks, but you can’t see them in this video. Wild Javelina can be dangerous but mostly to dogs because they will rip them along the side, trying to defend themselves if the dog runs up to them. They would rarely charge a human and only in my experience false charges.
We get them all the time out here in the boondocks, high desert. But if you feed them then you shouldn't whine when they show up and destroy your yard 😂.
Correct. This pack will come through nightly and have been fed by humans in the past but of course not us. The most they can get out of us is knocking over our bird feeder. This was the matriarch that brings the pack around and shows them to beg for food. You can see one of my other videos where a javelina fresh from the national Forest was challenging me. I treat them all with kindness.
That is a tough question to answer... for you. To watch a football game at sofi stadium is incredibly expensive, this was a preseason game when my Cowboys came to play and I happen to be in town so I went to explore the $5 billion dollar SOFI stadium. I tend to watch football at home on TV but love going to stadiums for the experience.
I was just talking them through that part of my yard, and as they were leaving I had sat down on a lounge chair, waiting for her to hop the little wall. She then turned around and approached me, and I would’ve had to stand up and jump over two lounge chairs backwards to regress but she, as you can tell meant no harm. When a Javelina is not happy with you, you can tell by its body language. If I had not jerked my hand away from her wet nose, then there may have been cuddles involved. 🤣
I would see her most nights, bringing the little ones through showing them that some of these suckers give them food. We enjoyed them, and they would occasionally knock over our birdfeeders or birdbath, but that’s on us for encroaching.
Good advice unless you're a professional. I'm on my back patio most nights keeping them on the other side of the Rock wall. This javelina showed no signs of aggression and in fact I think recognized my voice. If I wasn't forced into a sitting position I would have moved back further. If I didn't pull my hand back so quickly when she sniffed me this might have broken out into a cuddlefest. Such cute eyes and that piggy-like nose. My buddy Steve Irwin taught me the difference between an aggravated wild animal and a curious wild animal. In a world where you can choose to be anything choose to be kind.
@@Pfletch83 Fair point and I was just talking out of my ass. She really was not being aggressive at all if you look at my other short videos there's a very aggressive heavilina I smartly backed up from.
This group knocked over my shepherd's hook with two bird feeders and my bird bath. Because I know it's bad to feed wild animals like this and get them coming back I tried to intervene. You can tell all of them ran off except this one which I believe to be straight out of the national forest. This javelina was not messing around and so I would never touch it. When you know what to look for it's easy to read the animal's body language.
This one unfortunately, is humanized and begging for food. (I did not do this ) If you look at my other shorts, there is a very aggressive Javelina that got me to back off. Javelina are easy to read, and this one showed no signs of hostility, besides backing me into my chair.
Within my short videos you will see an aggressive and more wild javelina. It false charged me twice and if you compare the two you can see the difference in body language.
In the vast and rugged wilderness of the southwestern deserts, there lived a family known for their culinary prowess. They had a secret recipe passed down through generations for cooking javelina, a tough and wild game found in abundance in the arid lands. However, this recipe was not for the faint of heart, as it involved a series of intricate and laborious steps. The family gathered around their humble kitchen, ready to embark on the challenging task of preparing the javelina for dinner. First, they meticulously cleaned the javelina, removing any traces of dirt and debris. Then, they washed it in vinegar, hoping to tenderize the tough meat. Next came the crucial step of tacking the javelina to a sturdy board. With great care, they secured the game onto the board, ensuring it would cook evenly. They slathered the meat with their signature sauce, a blend of spices and herbs passed down through the ages. The oven preheated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, they carefully placed the board with the javelina inside. For the next six hours, the family anxiously waited as the tantalizing aroma of barbecue filled the air. But their task was far from over. After six long hours, they meticulously mopped the javelina with barbecue sauce, ensuring it remained moist and flavorful. Then, they lowered the temperature to 275 degrees Fahrenheit and continued cooking for another five hours. With each passing hour, the anticipation grew as the family eagerly awaited the moment of culinary triumph. Finally, after a total of eleven hours in the oven, they removed the javelina and soaked it in mustard, hoping to infuse it with one final burst of flavor. Exhausted but determined, they let the javelina cool for an hour before returning it to the oven. At a low temperature of 125 degrees Fahrenheit, they baked it for an additional four hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the meat to become tender. At last, the moment of truth arrived. With great anticipation, they pulled the javelina out of the oven and carefully untacked it from the board. But to their dismay, the meat was still tough and unpalatable. Defeated but undeterred, the family made a decision. With heavy hearts, they threw away the javelina and turned their attention to the board. And to their surprise, the board had absorbed all the flavors from the hours of cooking, becoming a deliciously seasoned masterpiece. In the end, while cooking javelina proved to be a challenging task, the family learned that sometimes, the most unexpected outcomes can be the most rewarding. And so, they sat down to enjoy a meal of seasoned board, savoring the fruits of their labor and the memories of their culinary adventure in the desert wilderness.
In areas with lots of people never harming them, they get comfortable and greedy, and they can be aggressive. In the wild, though, the first indication of a person and they get the hell out of dodge! Every time.
It's funny. Pigs and their "cousins" like javelinas really just do not give a shit. They're brutal in a fight because they're willing to take you down with them.
Never the wild animals fault. If you don't have the ability to read animals you should never allow them to pin you in a corner like they did me here. You can see my interaction with a more wild javelina in my short videos. That javelina false charged me several times and the hair on his back was standing straight up. On that occasion they had knocked over my bird feeders and bird bath so that was my fault. Not the same situation as this.
@@desertgirl30 No I would never feed them. They come through my yard most days. I know better than to encourage them with food because this is where my small dogs go out. I only go out there and encourage them to move on when they’re inside the small rock wall. Javelina are easy to read for some people and you can tell this one meant no harm. She was just teaching the small ones to come along these houses along the national forest and beg for food. I was there, trying to keep them in the wild part of my lawn. I have encountered wild Javelina that have not been humanized, and it’s a completely different experience with respect to the animal and what they’re capable of.
A week after my dad moved from PHX to Prescott we thought someone was breaking into the back shed or something... Turns out it was a pack with 6 little ones knocking over our pots and trash
LOL....well, on a second thought them guy's destroying stuff and causing a mess really isn't funny. It's hard to know how to feel about it, on one hand I want help them in some way, on the other I don't wanna get hurt ya know...also don't wanna see them get hurt unless of course it was a self defense kinda scenario...hope your Dad's being cautious and safe!
The greatest danger is to unleashed dogs. The dogs will run to the javelina barking and the javelina will not back down and will slash with their large fangs back and forth slicing the dog. If you're around javelina's that have been fed by humans they're very docile. Wild javelina are not to be trifled with but do not act like these repeated guests in our backyard.
