Feces

Javelina feces is of the same size and consistency as that of a medium size dog.  If the animal is consuming a particularly moist diet, it will appear like a small pancake.  When fresh it will generally be dark green in color.  If it is hot out, the feces will take on an outward dry to almost tan/white appearance in only a couple hours (moisture evaporation), but the inside will be very "ripe".  Many novice Javelina hunters have been fooled into thinking a bedding area or trail scat is days or weeks old when its only hours.
