If you want flowering plants or a garden around here your fence better be javelina proof. Javelina are not pigs but are related to swine and hippopotami. They are collared peccaries and came north from South America. Javelina are omnivores and eat roots, seeds, grass, fruit and small animals.

Mike’s fence in progress isn’t critter proof yet.Some of you asked about javelinas. I posted last year here and here about these interesting creatures.
