the iavelines are operated upon when taken
for the purpose Of being domesticated
The javeline Of southwest Texas is OF
the same color al the yellow sandy soil.
Javelines weigh. when full grown. from fifty
to eighty pounds. They are taller in the
fore part Of their body than in the rear. In
this respect they resemble the wild boar.
They are distinguished from the wild hogs
OF Arizona and New Mexico by a band OF
gray hair which extends around their neck.
The common Wild hog does not have this
nec's band"
The javelines In their wild state run in
droves Of twenty to fifty. They always
travel in single file and seem TO have a
recognized leader. When feeding or bedded
for sleep or rest one OF the javelines is al
ways on guard. Whenever a drove OF the
animals is about to cross an open space a
sentinel is first sent out to a a view of the
situation. II everything is found clear
the signal is given by the sentinel and the
whole drove trots across the clearing and
reenters the chaparral.
The flesh of the ~javeline is eaten by Next
cans. but is very tough and requires much
cooking to make IL eatable.
