Notes
- The main image on this page was taken at the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum west of Tucson, Arizona.
- Although we have hike many trails in the Sonoran Desert and the mountains in that region, we have yet to see a javalina in the wilds. We have seen signs of them, but not the critters themselves.
