Look at what our poor Jack-o-Lanterns have to worry about!

Look at this picture! It is too cute, we get little herds of these guys running through neighborhoods. I guess they LOVE pumpkins. We have wild squash that grows here but not like a perfectly carved out Jack-o-Lantern! What could be better.
I think they are very cute! I guess if they make camp for too long in your yard, it starts to smell...
My inlaws get them behind the pool all the time. I love watching them. I suppose we will need to pull our pumpkins in at night?

by the way: they are Javelina or Collared Peccary, pig like animals, but very big!!! They have tusks and run in packs. They are pretty abundant here!

Are those pigs or possums?

Those Pesky Peccaries Pilfered your Pumpkins! Phooey!

They ARE cute! But don't try to get too close... WILD pig! (Dah-dum) You my heart sing! (Dah-dum) You make EVrything GROOVY, WILD pig! Wild pig (Dah-dum-dah-dum) I think I LOVE you (Dah-dum-dah-dum) But I wanna KNOW for sure (Dah-dum-dah-dum) C'mon, have some pumpkin -- you'll LOVE it! (Dum-dum-dum-dum, dum-dum-dum-dum) WILD pig!....

OUR hog used to LIVE for pumpkins - He would burrow a hole in the side with his tuskers and just pig out! It was more fun to toss Willie a pumpkin than to carve them -

They are so cute! Are they mean?

 

[flutterbee]

Ok. I'm an animal lover, but I have to say....I'm not feeling the cute factor here.

 

[meowbunny]

Well, I'm glad you find them cute. Sorry, they're in the ugh factor to me. They look like overgrown rats in the picture. ewwwww

I agree with meowbunny. They look like giant rats. No offense to Cadence, in her cage next to me.
