Javelina Plush

The only thing cuter than a baby javelina is this Javelina Plush! Javelinas, also known as collared peccaries, are native to the deserts of the southwestern United States—including right here in Arizona. These pig-like mammals live in groups called “squadrons” and spend their days foraging for roots, fruits, and cactus pads. Though they look like pigs, javelinas are actually more closely related to hippos!

Javelinas have tough snouts perfect for digging, short bristly fur, and a strong musky scent they use to recognize each other. Don’t worry—our plush version is all cuddles and no desert funk. The Javelina Plush is approximately 11 inches long and 6 inches tall—just the right size for hugging, displaying, or tagging along on your next desert adventure.

Here are some more fun facts about javelinas:

• They’re most active at dawn and dusk.

• Javelinas have poor eyesight but a strong sense of smell.

• Their tusks help them defend against predators.

• Javelinas communicate with grunts, squeals, and snorts.

• They can live up to 10 years in the wild.
