Pests come in all sizes and shapes.  In fact it really seems to depend a lot on your perspective.

On a walk, one February evening, through a Scottsdale neighborhood.  We happened upon at least fifteen javelina’s, happily devouring the prickly pear adorning someone’s yard.  Beware, though, they’re capable of inflicting damage beyond the local fauna!

They’re fascinating creatures to study- their feet are so tiny in relation to the rest of their body!
