Here at Bear Creek Motel & Cabins we love our pets and welcome you to bring yours with you when you stay. We have had a different sort of pet visiting the property, Javelina, also known as the collard peccary. (Don’t forget the J is pronounced like an H; in Spanish pronounce - Habalina).
If you have never seen one, they look like but are not related to the pig. Their color is a salt and pepper gray and they are hairier and humpier than a domestic pig- whatever that means. While these animals look friendly and are generally harmless to people, they can be very mean to your pet, especially if there is a baby in their herd. We advise our guests not to feed or interact with the javelina and to watch or photograph them from a distance. Click here to check out our Pet Policy. Photo by B. Pelham
