Getting Stared Down By Javalinas

Tucson, United States

Nothing spectacular, but in Tucson, Arizona, USA, there's a lot of wildlife. And to enjoy the outdoors you have to get up well before sunrise. Today as I left my community to go bike I quickly came face-to-face with a pack of javalinas. I've only been in Tucson a year, but have been repeatedly warned to stay FAR AWAY from these creatures as they'll attack. Luckily that didn't happen. What I didn't realize until I viewer the video is I saw two large males. I've seen packs in excess of 20. But today, in the video, you can see there was one more javalina behind some bushes in the right of the shot. Had I continued on the path I certainly would have been attacked.
