Javelina is the name used in the SW US for a species of wild pigs called the "peccary ". It is a small growing swine, typically, weighing around 40 pounds, probably no more than 90 pounds. In the SW US, they are normally on the smaller side. Here are links with description:

Apparently, they are not entirely like the common pig, and they are difficult to domesticate.
