Nice job. Hey, I saw a couple of javelina tonight on my run up in Las Sendas.

Cool. Did you scare them? They are really blind.

I did not know that. Aren't they pretty aggresive, too? I stopped and had the gals I was running with look at them. Probably wasn't a good idea.

Like everything, there are probably some aggressive individuals, but in general I don't think that is true. I think they are blind and not very bright. This leads to encounters where they charge people unknowingly, they scare you and you scare them and then they run off. They eat plants like cactus, so I don't think the dog has anything to worry about unless it is aggressive and gets all yippy and the Javelina feels it needs to fight back. They're really rather secretive. There are just a whole bunch of them. So when people do see them they tend to be when the Javelina wasn't paying attention (really good sense of smell and hearing)
