More Javelinas Today.

Even as I was writing the blog for today about Patagonia Creek Preserve, our neighbor called and ask me to bring my camera. Some Javelinas had made a home under several mesquite trees. A female had just given birth to two young piglets. You can see how tiny the piglets were from the first photo. In the second photo the javelina piglet is still wet. There were six adults, the two newborn, a youngster maybe a month or so old (the third photo) and a "teenager."  They made "beds" by digging in the dirt until it was soft and devoid of rocks, leaves, or other debris. After a while they "settled-in" so I left them to sleep. It was a nice break from work.
