An updated edition of the definitive work on these large mammals, first published in 1984 as Peccaries. Sowls, who has studied these animals for nearly forty years, examines this family of New World Mammals and presents his findings on each species' anatomy and physiology, behaviour, reproduction, effects on the environment, diet, reaction to diseases, and habitat. In addition, a review of management practices is provided, along with recommendations on their management, conservation, and possible contribution to sustainable land use.
