Collared Peccary-Pig-like But Not A Pig
The collared peccary is a mammal that ranges from SW United States all the way down through South America. Though sometimes referred to as wild pigs, these mammals are actually not in the pig family. They have a very versitile diet, eating everything from roots to small animals. Collared peccaries produce a very pungent musk when they feel threatened. To aid with swarming insects, they frequently take mud baths.
