Not a Pig
It's a javelina or collared peccary. I'm at Bentsen State Park to see the birds. Javelinas are attracted to bird feeders for obvious reasons, and this one had become a bit of a nuisance, acting aggresively towards visitors to the point where the staff had stopped filling the feeders. I'd been warned about it, so I was prepared when it came trotting across my path out of nowhere and I kept my distance. Very cool animal though, and doesn't it have dainty little feet?
