I went to walk my ferret late last night at Highland Vista park, and driving up we saw 7 older Javelinas and 3 baby javelinas grazing on the grass. 22 years in Las Vegas I never encountered any wildlife but here, javelinas and coyotes right in the Midtown area of Tucson. A neighbor has a rental house near the University and she says they're bothered with them that close to the University.

They've been creating a lot of problems in my mobile home community near Swan/Grant. The other night javelinas broke thru the skirting of a mobile home and caused damage. Some of the residents are now javelina-proofing their houses, as there's been over 30 incidents in the last year. We've been hiring a company to come in and trap them, but it's an exercise in futility. A wash borders our property, which leads down to the River, and they come up thru the wash.

When me and my ferret encounter them in my community, my fearless ferret races toward them and they scatter, quite amusing to watch.
