Javelinas | Lordsburg, New Mexico | March, 2009
Javelinas have, for centuries, been slowly moving north from their South American rainforest home, where they still live. They moved through Mexico and into Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico as recently as 150 years ago. In New Mexico they continue to move slowly north and have now reached Bosque del Apache, which is only 90 miles south of Albuquerque. How much farther north they can move will be determined by how well they adapt to the increasingly colder winters. ||MC2-0299
