| When I was in Texas they were usually referring to javilina’s, proper name is The Collared Peccary. Max weight is around a 100 pounds. With straight tusks.
They are aggressive but not nearly as bad as what you are likely to find as a feral hog here. I have also heard that some people where trying to "import" them to the state for the sport of it. Would not surprise me if they had actually got it done. The mostly likely thing that has happened is that some have gotten lose from there farms. I have seen domestic hogs in excess of 1000 pounds. As Domesticated animals they can be quite vicious. And if you are planning on hunting on hunting one you had better bring something with a LOT of stopping power. |
