Formal request has been received to merge: Giant peccary into Collared peccary; dated: August 2021. Proposer's Rationale: The giant peccary has not been accepted as a valid species by any major zoological authority. It has instead been listed as a synonym for the collared peccary. I believe the proposed description/historic information of the giant peccary should merely take up a section in the Collared peccary article. —Porqaz. Discuss it here.

Is javelina the common name?

Where this animal is native in English speaking areas the common name is javelina, but I can see if collared peccary might be more common in guide books. Do we prioritize what it’s called in its native range or what it’s called in litterateur? I at least think Javalina should be should be put in a more obvious spot at the top of the article to reduce confusion of people that don’t know the term “collard peccary” 174.21.199.33 (talk) 17:25, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
