Javelina Skull

The Javelina (Tayassu tajacu) also known as collared peccary, is a medium-sized animal that look similar to a wild boar. They have mainly short coarse salt and pepper colored hair, short legs, and a pig-like nose. While the javelina may look like a pig, they actually are not. They look similar, but pigs are from the "Old World" and peccary are "New World" animals. There are many other differences most having to do with differences in physical anatomy. Either way, we find them and their skulls to be fascinating. Just look at the chompers on this guy!  

All skulls and bones vary slightly in size and shape. You will receive a high quality specimen of the selected item but not the exact one pictured.
