Red-Bellied Piranha

Too pretty to be such a rough character, don't you think?  According to this article, they prefer to  "feed on dead, dying, and injured vertebrates in the wild, but have been known to attack healthy animals."

Javelina

January 2, 2013.  Arizona Sonora Desert Museum

I found javelina hard to photograph.  They were fast moving or hiding in the deep shade or standing right next to heavy fencing.  They are much more interesting to watch than to photograph.  You don't want to think these are cute little dudes and dudettes either.  They can be mean, try a search on the term Javelina attacks.
