The Desert Home The Adventures of a Lost Family in the Wilderness The larger species—the white-lipped peccary—is dreaded by the farmers, as it frequently, in large numbers, attacks their crops, choosing always the most flourishing fields. The Western World Picturesque Sketches of Nature and Natural History in North and South America L'Encuerado, instead of coming to us on the raft, turned towards a peccary which in its eagerness had fallen into the water and was endeavoring to reach the bank. Adventures of a Young Naturalist A wide trail led to the edge of the stream, cut deep by the hoofs of tapirs, peccaries and other animals. The Black Phantom Others of a very different order appeared in the peccaries, or wild pigs of the montaña. Bruin The Grand Bear Hunt As it came out from the long weeds and grass, we saw that two smaller animals, of a dark reddish colour—two young peccaries—were following at its heels. The Desert Home The Adventures of a Lost Family in the Wilderness The peccary will, indeed, attack man or beast without hesitation, its assaults being not the less dangerous because it seems utterly ignorant of the danger it runs itself. The Western World Picturesque Sketches of Nature and Natural History in North and South America Some of the peccaries rushed after the Indian; the others, chasing and hustling one another, deafened us with their gruntings. Adventures of a Young Naturalist There were deep, black pools in the unbroken shade; stealthy deer, tapirs, peccaries, and agoutis moved like shadows among the columnar trunks.

The Desert Home The Adventures of a Lost Family in the Wilderness It and the peccary are the only two Pachydermata, or thick-skinned animals, indigenous to the southern continent. The Western World Picturesque Sketches of Nature and Natural History in North and South America The flesh of the animal reminded us a little of that of the peccary, although it was less highly flavored. Adventures of a Young Naturalist What was far more important was that the peccary herds fed on the chonta nuts and were sure to be in the neighborhood of their favorite feeding-grounds. The Black Phantom Whether the peccaries eventually succeeded in destroying the jaguar, or whether the wounded tyrant of the forest escaped from their terrible teeth, could never be told. Bruin The Grand Bear Hunt Still I knew that the peccary was a fierce animal, and not much entitled to the mercy we would have shown to a deer, or any harmless creature like that.

The Western World Picturesque Sketches of Nature and Natural History in North and South America When it kills a stag or peccary, it buries its prey under some leaves, then climbs the nearest tree, and howls until it attracts all the carnivorous animals near. Adventures of a Young Naturalist So long as the queer creatures were present in numbers he dared not show himself for he well remembered his experience with the peccary herd whose strength lay in numbers. The Black Phantom It is hardly necessary to say that this is a very useless proceeding—since the peccaries are neither more nor less than true wild hogs, the indigenous representatives of the suidae, on the American continent.

The Western World Picturesque Sketches of Nature and Natural History in North and South America The white-lipped kind is much the larger—frequently weighing one hundred pounds—while a full-grown individual of the collared peccary does not exceed in weight over fifty pounds. Quadrupeds, What They Are and Where Found A Book of Zoology for Boys As many as a hundred of the collared peccary have been observed in one “gang,” and no doubt had there been more of them in the neighbourhood, the flock would have been still larger. The Hunters' Feast Conversations Around the Camp Fire In size, however, there is a great difference between the two: the white-lipped peccary weighing 100 pounds, or nearly twice the weight of the collared species.

The Desert Home The Adventures of a Lost Family in the Wilderness The peccary is very like a small hog. The Western World Picturesque Sketches of Nature and Natural History in North and South America The breadth of the river, and the rapidity of the current, seem to be but trifling obstacles to them; and are overcome easily, since the peccaries are excellent swimmers. Quadrupeds, What They Are and Where Found A Book of Zoology for Boys The fact is, the peccary is a wide “ranger,” and frequents either plains or mountains wherever he can find the roots or fruits which constitute his natural food. The Hunters' Feast Conversations Around the Camp Fire Of course, to fall down among the peccaries would be death, equally certain and terrible.

The Mysterious Island This is the wolf's and the peccary's instinct; and the devouring of one of their own companions is an inevitable consequence of the mistake made in the first place of attacking and killing it.
