The collared peccary, Pecari tajacu sonoriensis (Mearns) is a common inhabitant of central and southeastern Arizona. It is found from about 2,000 feet above sea level in the Sonoran desert of southeastern Arizona to an altitude of over 6,500 feet above sea level in the higher ranges (Knipe, 1957). Between September, 1955 and January, 1957, I conducted research on the techniques of trapping, tagging, and transplanting the collared peccary. While carrying out this research work miscellaneous information on the life history of the collared peccary was obtained.
