Heard a noise outside, opened my front door, and there was a full grown javelina standing in my front yard.
I thought I was hallucinating but then my Mom came out and saw it too.

For the people with artistic skills that follow me and need a prompt:
Sic semper tryannus
Bonus points if the scene includes hyenas, crows, ravens, javelina, or dinosaurs.

Beautiful day for a run in Sedona. Connected a bunch of trails in the Adobe Jack area to make this loop.

There are coyotes in the arroyo less than a 1/4 mile from my house. They wander thru the 'neighborhood'. They catch & kill kitties & small dogs. There are also bats in the area. There are javelina wandering around. A bobcat lives on the patio behind mine. My Dog is vaccinated against rabies.

Been here 17 years, never seen a javelina, scorpion, or any form of snake in the wild. Fine keeping that run going.

I think if you guys are looking for some good Texas nature, you really should try and get down to the LGRV -- there's incredible birding, some of the coolest snakes in the state (the mighty and charismatic Indigo!) and indian antelope as well as javelina and other charismatic weirdos
