Yes they do. They’re very defensive, and will rip apart a dog if the dog tries to attack it. I would never get this close too Javelina in the wild. This One is a nightly visitor and I believe trying to teach the young ones to beg for food along the edge of the national forest. I just talk to them and let them know that this side of the rock wall contains humans and small dogs. I do not feed them.
@@phflhs they always grow against each other, so every time the hog opens and closes it's mouth, they sharpen an edge between them. So yeah they're sharp.
No. They are very nearsighted but sense of smell is amazing. I have a pet javelina. Their tusks are very sharp; he has torn big lacerations in my dogs that provoke him. Sooner or later they learn. Don’t mess with piggly.
@@neoskater420 To be fair the javelina was not in an aggressive stance and the interaction with the pack went on for about 30 minutes. This is the elder trying to teach the other little ones to beg for food at the edge of the national Forest. You can see from the hair on her back and her body language that she was not going to attack me. I normally stay clear but make my presence known because of my small dogs within the small rock wall, but she had me backed up against a lounge chair so I just sat down. She only ran cuz I jerk my hand away so fast. It's not kind to feed wild animals so I never do. I have other videos of when they knocked over my bird feeders with a much more aggressive javelina (non-humanized straight from the forest) that was definitely willing to attack. I receive several false charges and backed away. It wasn't the pack of javelina's that knocked my bird feeders over It's human error and that time it was on me. This pack is different and visit most nights.
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
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
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.
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.
@@BenjaminCole520 Nope. Peccaries/Javelinas, from lower classifications to higher Family: Tayassuidae (this is Javelinas) Suborder: Suina (which is the same suborder as pigs, and NOT the same as sheep, deer, or goats) Order: Artiodactyla (THIS is where sheep, deer, and goats fall in common with Javelinas) It's really not hard to look this shit up. At all. Maybe you should try it :)
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.
I have a healthy respect of javelina. This is a humanized javelina that has become humanized on the edge of the national forest from being fed by idiots. I would never feed them nor recommend anyone touching one like that but I had been interacting with these 12 javelina for quite a while before this one was that comfortable with me. They are welcome roaming through my yard daily but if they hop the rock wall I just want them to know there are humans around that don't feed them. Treat all creatures with respect and kindness. Non-humanized javelina come through straight out of the national forest and I treat them differently more like the bobcats that sit where this javelina was.
Most people that do this and that interact with wildlife have a respect and fascination for it, even if they were to get hurt most are aware of the dangers that can happen when interacting closely with wildlife. Let people enjoy it and have fun they’re not doing any harm
@@Nicole-ju3zb Thank you. On the outside of the tiny wall, they have full run of the yard. I was just sitting there, trying to let them know that this side of the wall is not wild. Obviously, someone had fed that older Javelina that approached me before because I couldn’t believe it walked right up to me like that.
