WHAT DOES JAVELINA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

javelina

Peccary

A peccary is a medium-sized mammal of the family Tayassuidae, or New World pigs. Peccaries are members of the artiodactyl suborder Suina along with the pig family Suidae. They are found in the southwestern area of North America and throughout Central and South America. Peccaries usually measure between 90 and 130 centimetres in length, and a full-grown adult usually weighs between about 20 to 40 kg. The word “peccary” is derived from the Carib word pakira or paquira. Peccaries, which are native to the Americas, are often confused with the pig family that originated in Afro-Eurasia, especially since some domestic pigs brought by European settlers have escaped over the years and now run wild as "razorback" hogs in many parts of the United States. In many countries, they are raised on farms and are a source of food for local communities, especially in the developing world. Their skin, being both rigid and strong, as well as soft and supple, is recognized as being ideal for the production of leather gloves.
