Once they crossed the trail in front of us, we proceeded on our hike. There was no more wild life meetings for the rest of the hike. Rats. Not even a jack rabbit.
That is the first time I have met up with javelinas on a hike. Wonderful experience.

Right Place Right Time
This morning, neighbors Cheryl and Ted joined me for a short hike. We were on the Cactus Forest Trail for about a tenth of a mile when we saw javelinas off the trail in the desert scrub. The group of about a dozen slowly crossed the trail in front of us. The sun behind the javelinas made for poor photos.

We were on a hike today out by superstition mountain and were talking about these. Must be timid, I haven't ever seen them in the wild.
ReplyDeleteOn and thanks for the photos.
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not I saw 3 javelinas rooting around in my hotel's landscaping just off Valencia Blvd near the airport. They must be adapting to an urban environment.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen javelinas yet, but I was told they can be dangerous. I'd sure steer clear of them, they are porky little critters. Wouldn't want one one of them rushing toward me!
