The javelina in our front yard

Just to begin, for those of you who have no idea what a javelina is. Go here to learn a little more.

Two days ago, Brian called me while I was at work. There was a javelina right our front of his home office window. We get a lot of wildlife at our house but we have never had a javelina before. He was walking around and giving himself a dirt bath right where we normally watch the baby baby bunny (like 8 inches long baby baby) and all the pretty birds. Brian took some great pictures but I have not been able to load them to a computer since my laptop crashed on Monday. Don't worry, it is in route to dad so he can save the day again!

Brian even went outside by the car port and yelled at it to try to get it to look at him. He just kept walking on this merry way. Normally when we see javelina out we see them in packs so we are wondering if he is just looking for his final resting place or something of the sorts.

Yesterday when I drove home, Brian was standing outside looking out into the desert. I stopped the car and got out. The javelina was wondering around our back yard again. I grabbed the camera to try to snap a photo but when I walked around some brush the javelina had stopped and was starring right at me. I panicked, jumped back in my car, parked it and then ran into the house. Javelinas are not known for being friendly creatures.

I will post pictures of what Brian took as soon as I can. The blessings of the desert! YEAH!!
