So, protected critters did as protected critters do, and made more critters. This includes javelina. Heaps, gobs and bunches of them.

Javelina are apparently still expanding their territory in the US. Some say there is no skeletal evidence that javelina were north of the Rio Grand river in ancient times. They also say there were few javelina in AZ 100 years ago. We now have javelina in SW Oklahoma. Some have been killed around Snyder, OK. i saw one at a pond on Ft. Sill several years ago.
A species like javelina that have lived in a hard scrabble environment could multiply quickly in an environment with lots of food and water.
