Javelinas and Other Peccaries: Their Biology, Management, and Use is certain to be regarded as the definitive source on this family of piglike creatures consisting of three species. Best known in the United States is the javelina, or collared peccary, but the firsthand observations and extensive information provided in this well-illustrated volume cover all of the species.
Lyle K. Sowls, who has studied the animals for nearly forty years, examines this family of New World mammals and presents his findings on each species' anatomy and physiology, behavior, reproduction, effects on the environment, diet, reaction to diseases, and habitat. He also includes sonograms of peccary vocalizations representing their social communication.
Additionally, Sowls provides a review of management practices, along with recommendations on the management and conservation of peccaries. He reviews the peccaries' importance as game for sport hunters and includes reports from early explorers and discussion of American Indians' use of the animals.
This fully revised book is a useful tool for mammalogists and other wildlife scientists, game specialists, and general readers interested in javelinas in the U.S. Southwest and peccaries throughout the Americas.
