Guess who came in the mail today? A javelina! @herboreal bought it for me after we returned from our trip to Tucson. We were just so smitten by the javelinas we saw there! This individual is pretty greasy, so when it gets warmer I might stick it in some Dawn for a while.
Javelinas aren’t very large! This one was a juvenile when it died (molars were still coming in), but it’s about standard size for a javelina skull. It’s so tiny compared to my domestic pig and Russian wild boar skulls!
