Javelinas, Look West

Lauray Yule

This book manages to pack in information on the javelina's natural history as well as it's place in folklore and culture. Since javelinas can become urbanized, and therefore dangerous or at the least a nuisance for gardeners and on landscapes, management information is also included. A great gift for anyone interested in javelinas (it even mentions the TAMU-Kingsville mascot!) Native Americans (including the Mayans who worshipped peccaries) and wildlife, and the southwest in general.
