Our Furry Wild and Crazy Sedona Visitors...

Hi Joan Cox - I saw how they were trying to lift the outside screen of the window and it freaked me out!  (But they are cute!)

Hi Kathy Streib - Armadillo! That is so cool!

Hi Jeff Masich-Scottsdale AZ Associate Broker,MBA,GRI - We see a lot of Javelina, but these came  up from a wash a few feet from me.  They were more interested in munching leaves, though!

Hi Endre Barath, Jr. - Seeing wild animals "up-close and personal" really puts life in perspective. 

Hi Roy,

Enjoying the wildlife is one of the little things we enjoy in Sedona.

Hi Nina Hollander, Broker - LOL on the private zoo!  However, there is no bars or walls to stand behind. On the other hand, it is so interesting to see something new just about every other day.

Hi Wayne Martin - I remember the days before we put up chicken wire on our gate.  The javelina would enter the courtyard and pull every flower out of my garden.

Hi Kat Palmiotti - Most people think they are part of the pig or wild boar family.  They are Collard Peccary.  The closest relative is the Hippo. The are near sighted and have a good sense of smell but they do stink when they are wet.  They smell kind of like a wet farm might smell.  They will usually run away from you unless they are in fear of their babies.

Hi Brian,  This is so true! Both the sqeal of the raccoons and the javelina are unmistakable.

Hi Ray Henson - We lost sight of them in the video and my husband went outside to see if they were ok.  They climbed back up to the wall.  There is a wedge between the house and the wall that they could maneuver up. 

Hi Will Hamm - They made a spot behind our wall where they could rest.  One of the moms used that area as a birthing area.  We have seen the babies just a few hours old.

Hi Lawrence "Larry" & Sheila Agranoff. Cell: 631-805-4400 - Javelina are very skittish.  They can't see well and they will run the other way.  They startled me because they came out of a wash about 5 feet from me.  They eat fruits, veggies, flowers, and leaves. 

Hi Myrl Jeffcoat - baby raccoons are very cute. Thank you for the feature!

Hi Joan Cox - No, they generally are afraid of humans.  They don't see well and are very skittish.  Try to take their babies and all bets are off! Haha
