Tiajuana and Mexicali in Lower

javelina likes to travel in groups
and has a tendency to become ex-
cited when one of his kind is wound
ed. To add to this excitement is
the odor from a large scent gland
that lies along the spine and over
the hip bones-used to rally the clan
in time of danger.
The scent is not used for direct
protection, as by the polecat, but
more as directing factor to others.
It is thought that this gland vitiates
edible meat unless it is removed

Javelma Tough Hunting For Arizona
Sportsmen; Can Shoot En- In March

Arizona's only game animal that
is increasing rapidly, the javelina,
will be making use of his unusually
acute ears all through March to
protect himself from the rifle slugs
of hunters ambitious enough to seek
him out.
This hog-like creature of uncertain
temperament, which once furnished
a large supply to the pig-skin market
from the southwest, became so scarce
little more than a decade ago that
he was under total protection.
This fierce-looking peccary species
is the enigma of hunters, who find
him in hills up to around $500 feet
and in the sea-level valleys; in the
barren parts of the desert where
there is no water, or in lush areas
near water holes, in groups or travel
ing alone.
Every time some rule for his be-
havior begins to take shape, another
pig comes along and breaks the rule.
Strong Defense
They are not credited with an un-
provoked attack upon man, but they
will defend themselves to the death
in case of attack.
