Ohhh yoo-hoo, Tiniest Snorfer! Have we found the perfect match for you. Meet, the Tiniest Grunter!
My idea of a romantic evening is holding hams while watching Dukes of Hazzard reruns.
I am into high-pitched squealing noises and rubbing against fence posts.
Pam L. met this baby orphaned javelina at Big Bend Ranch State Park near Terlingua, Texas.
An orphaned what? We’re in desparate need for a rescute tag.
I didn’t know what it was either so I looked up javalina it says:
” Though some people think javelina are a type of wild pig, they are actually members of the peccary family, a group of hoofed mammals originating from South America. ” For all the info : http://www.azgfd.gov/w_c/urban_javelina.shtml
.
I also had to look this little guy up, them babies got some teeth on them! So cute though!!!!
It’s a peachy-keena javelina.
ResQte tag added!
Squeeeeeeee!! *checks between feet…no piggie… Looks back at pictures and watches flying pig vid to cheer self up*
Dear wee peeg,
Me lurv your teeny trotters and conical schnozzle.
Sincerely,
Lisa
Conical schnozzicle!
AaaahMaaaGaaaaa! Cutest thing I have ever seen!
No “Farm Animals” tag for you, mister, if you are indeed a javelina (also known as peccary or skunk pig). According to Wikipedia, [p]eccaries are aggressive enough in temperament that, unlike Eurasian pigs, they cannot be domesticated, as they are likely to injure humans.]
But whether javelina, peccary, razorback or regular peeg, the one tag this precious behbeh can’t avoid is “CUTE”!!!
I think I’ll leave the Farm Animals tag. A few sources say the young are often captured and serve as domestic farm animals.
Funniest thing I read is you smell javelina before you see them!
wait…what?…they stink and attack people?…i think i like naked piggies better…(clean ones)…
What do you have against stinking and attacking people?
Is the question about people who stink and people who attack? or about others who stink and attack people? these are important matters, people.
No, we weren’t initially talking about people who stink and attack people. We were talking about peeg-like creatures that stink and attack people. But now that you bring it up . . . So, Cellarmouse, what do you have against people who stink and attack people?
got sent to the lounge twice!…two martoonies please…
That will teach you to be intolerant of stinking and attacking.
Peooople…people who stinkandattack peeeeopple…
… Aaaare the stinkiest, attackingest peeeeeople in the wooorld!
i think they’re probly vampires…i’m prejudiced against vampires…even sexy ones…i mean how can you not stink if you drink raw blood and have been dead for just ages?…
i tried to answer you theresa but i got sent to the lounge…i’m sort of in the mood for a large classic martini…extra dry…one olive…and cocktail peanuts…
coming right up. have you visited the happy hour bacon bar?
sharpy, sharpy,sharpy,…i have eaten whole wheat bread when the other kids had sunbeam…my p,b,&j had no j, just lettuce (on whole wheat bread)…my pancakes were buckwheat with no syrup…i became a giant with really strong bones…i had great, funny friends but boys were terrified of me in junior high (that’s middle school- but don’t worry my young friends – i grew up and was fallen in love with by the best
looking guy i’d ever met)…perhaps i digress – but really, sharpie, don’t lecture old people who already feel guilty for eating bacon…
whew, i feel better now…
@cellarmouse: *stifled giggles*
@Sharpy: Could you point me to the bacon bar, please? My feline overlords are hungry.
I would so date him!!!
ehn GIT IN LINE, you Outrageuse FrawnscheWoman, yew !!!!
Javelinas are peccaries, they are actually cousins to hippos. So cute.
*considers the possibility that we hoomans are accustomed to concept of piggies being big fat potbellied guys and this wun eeezzz ssszzzzooo wiry and THIIIIINNNNN
that it seems surreal*
*boops Piggy on the Schnozz; runs away, shrieking incoherently, just for jollies*
*watches Firdie being chased by wee peeg*
Sorry, Javelina. The Tiniest Snorfer still rules.
Cutesie baby right now, MEAN SOB in a few months!!!!!
Don’t you think if we love him and hug him, and call him George, and feed him whole-milk ricotta, he will grow up to be a sweetie-pie?
can you believe that SNOUT?????
I don’t want to smooch it, I just want to give it a little peccary on the cheek.
I love having in-laws that live in Az. near Sedona so
I can see these lil’ cuties every once in a while ! you should see a family of them running across the street !! dad in law hates them cause they tear up the yard & garden but the babies are soooooooooo cute ! Mama however is kind of scary since they have almost no fear when the babies are around.
I stay in the house while looking at them cause they’re fast & mama can put a serious hurt lock on human flesh.
People, we cannot compare the javelina to a common peeg. They’re much too elegant for such outrageous stereotyping. Why, just take a look at those high heels, fur coat, and highlights! That, my dear friends, is refinement. His family would never allow the match: It’d be tantamount to dallying with the serving maid! *clutches pearls, looking for fainting couch*
**runs to fetch the smelling salts (for brinnann) and a glass of brandy (for me)**
*tosses a pinch of smelling salts over my shoulder, grabs Sprock’s glass of brandy and tosses it too (but not over my shoulder)*
Phew, thanks Sprock! I needed that!
Sprock is actually the St Bernard in that cartoon, who comes upon the traveler stranded in snowbank, and pours out a brandy for himself.
I like that visual!
But they complete each other!
Look at those teeniny little high heeled hooves!
His wee heels remind me of those Frawnsche noblemen back in the day with their ladylike heeled shoes and powdered wigs.
Lady Gaga will be wearing similiar heels next season.
I thought the same thing!
Although cute now…this little peeg reminds me of the one I was chased by at 5. Wait, why are you laughing? OK ok…my grandmother laughed too.
I know, they look like kitten heels
That’s quite a wallplug nose! But remember, at this age, only use it to recharge handheld devices, power tools would draw too much amperage.
sooooo, that’s what they were talking about on GCB recently (for those of you with real lives, that’s a trashy soap on Sunday night) – the popular girls sorted others into “hotties” and “jovelinas” which seems be be pronounced “hovelinas.” Now it makes sense ….
IT’s A BABY NOONOO!!
I so want to boop that nose. The moles add character.
re. facial moles….. “er” …..
with lil’ heel shoes for feet!
Peeg Peeg Peeg Squee!!!!!!!!!!!
Not that I condone Nuffin’, but Many here might recognise Javelinas as the animal responsible for Ol’ Yeller gettin’ rabies which caused him to me his demise
Yeller caught rabies from the wolf he fought off. “Travis, that wolf was mad.”
I thought those pigs were razorbacks? AKA feral pigs? Which is why Travis was messing with them in the first place… he was branding them with his family’s “mark” so no one else could take them.
And yes, Yeller got rabies from a wolf, not the pigs.
I guess I need to man up and watch the movie again, I just cut thirty minutes out of it XD totally forgot about that dumb wolf.
I could have sworn they said they were Javelina’s…actually, it might have just been my mum who said that. Javelina’s typically are quite vicious when you snatch their young. And it could also have been because we had quite a few run ins with Javelina’s in the house in Arizona.
thanks for correctin’ me.
La Petite Senorita Josaphina Javalinea, I adore thee!
You all are entertaining, but photo #1 is for the calendar! Tiny high heels and all.
A javelina in the house? At close quarters? Maybe when they’re small. When they get older, they are not to be trifled with.
