Reminds me of the questions I got at Pennsic about  the site for 25th Year
Celebration way back when.  Rattle snakes don't you know, they were all
fearful of rattle snakes.  Told them don't worry the rattlers javalina take
care of them.  What's javalina they ask.  I say picture wild Russian Boars
distilled down to 45 to 50 pounds of porcine fury.   They travel in packs,
stomp the snakes with their tiny but ever so sharp hooves and snip them up
with their ever so sharp tusks.  Tusks which click togeather like shears as
they gobble them up like wiggly spigitti.

The wilder the tale the more they believed it.
