• A javelina was filmed running super fast through a residential area in Tucson, Arizona.
• It runs really, really fast.
• What even is a javelina?  
• The javelina, also known as collared peccary or musk hog, is not a pig or boar, despite resembling both.
• Video of the javelina was sent into KOLD 13 News, where it has since gone viral on reporter Hannah Tiede's Twitter.
• Javelinas are native to the Southwest. They also have an unnoticeable tail, and have one claw on each of their back hoofs.
• Javelinas are smaller than feral hogs. For instance, you would probably need 50 to 70 javelinas to equal the brute force of 30 to 50 feral hogs.
• The hoofed mammals, which eat a diet of cacti, insects, fruits, and seeds, communicate through scent glands on the top of their rumps and have odors similar to skunks.
• They have an average lifespan of 7 to 8 years and usually travel in herds of eight to nine members.
• It is unknown why this javelina was alone, where its herd is, or where it was going, but wow, this guy sure can run.
