摘要: In Arizona, conflicts between homeowners and urban-dwelling javelina (Tayassu tajacu) continued to increase. Human-javelina often occurred when responded urban attractants destroyed ornamental landscapes, injured pets, frightened homeowners. This prompted initiation of a study during 1992–93 develop recommendations alleviate these conflicts. We captured, radio-collared, located eight from six herds determine home ranges, habitat use, activity patterns in Prescott, Arizona. Urban-dwelling adjusted their best use human-provided food, water, cover resources. The most conspicuous adjustments was the increased nocturnal avoid human disturbances. Undeveloped land within or adjacent Prescott provided with daytime bedding areas nighttime travel corridors. determined that this issue more people problem than it problem. Thus, strategies resolve must target
