TUCSON, AZ — Video as seen on the Neighbors app caught what appears to be a family of javelinas in a dark Tucson residential parking area Sunday. First a large javelina comes out of the shadows to explore and thoroughly sniff the ground, followed by two adolescent javelinas. A baby javelina follows closely after the teens and disappears into the larger javelina's shadow away from the camera, leaving viewers to assume that the large javelina might be the baby's mother.

Next, another teen javelina follows in the baby's path, and another large javelina enters the parking area from the bottom of the screen, perhaps another javelina parent. At the same time, another adolescent javelina also appears from the shadows near the top of the screen.
