It's "javelina," and they're not rodents, but a type of wild pig! Geez, get your story straignt!

They are also very near-sighted, and therefore mean. Do NOT mess with them. If you come upon one or more on the desert, stand still. They will lose interest and be on their way.

Actually javelinas are not a wild pig as many believe. The belong to the peccary group of hoofed manmals that orginated from South America. They are very common in the area around Tucson and east into New Mexico. They are actually more related as a species to a rodent than a wild pig. Just FYI.

You are so right they are wild pigs. I lived in what used to be a ghost town, and is now a full town, Congress Az. We had then all on the highways and you had to watch out for them
