Holy Javelina!

I have been hoping to see one of these seemingly mythical creatures since my first day here when my boss' dog was attacked by one.  "They look like hairy pigs, but they're actually rodents".  A real ROUS!!!! I've kept my eyes open, looking in the dawn and twilight when they are most likely to be around, to no avail.  Until this morning on my walk....when I saw TWO!  Unfortunately I didn't get a picture because one started running at me and I had to throw gravel at it to scare it off, but these should give you an idea....





I'll be leaving Arizona a *very* happy girl!
