The collared peccary (Pecari tajacu) is a species of mammal in the family Tayassuidae found in North, Central, and South America. They are commonly referred to as javelina ... Although somewhat related to the pigs and frequently referred to as one, this species and the other peccaries are no longer classified in the pig family, Suidae.
(from Wikipedia)
They root like pigs .. poop like pigs ... grunt and squeal like pigs ... but are not classified as pigs.
Sort of like some relatives ...

Javelina is a darker, dry meat. No fat to speak of.

Also the javelina is not a true pig.
