peccary
New World hog
A peccary is a pig-like mammal native to the Americas, ranging from the southwestern United States through South America.
Peccaries resemble wild boars but are smaller and belong to a different family.
They travel in herds, have coarse bristly hair, and emit a strong musky odor from scent glands.
The collared peccary, also called javelina, is the most common species.
