This is a southwestern adaptation of a family folktale:a chile-flavored "The Three Little Pigs." The story takes place in the Sonoran Dester, where Native American, Mexican and Anglo cultures blend together.
Javelina comes from a Spanish name for the collared peccary, a New World relative of swine (but not a true pig) that ranges from the southwestern United States down to the tip of South America. Javelinas are extremely bristly-very hary on the chinny-chin-chin. Oddly enough, they are also related to the hippopotamus. In the American Southwest, another common local name for peccaries, besides javelinas, is "wild pigs."
