Javelina Pup Smile

- A Javelina Pup, often called a "red," is born weighing about one pound and has a reddish-brown or tan coat with a dorsal stripe that helps it stay with the herd - The pups are three months old or so before their coats change to the adult's "salt and pepper" appearance - While cute, they are not domestic animals, so it's best to keep a safe distance, as the mothers can be aggressive if they feel their young are threatened

Gould's Turkey

- Gould's Turkey (Meleagris Gallopavo Mexicana) is a wild turkey subspecies that lives in arid deserts and mountain regions - The largest subspecies of wild turkey, but has the smallest population - Males weigh 20–25 pounds, while females weigh 8–12 pounds - Can be found in the sky islands of southern Arizona, fairly common around Oracle, Madera Canyon, Mount Lemmon ... - Their habitats can be rough, with steep and rocky canyons ==> Turkey's Least Favorite Month: November

McKale Basketball Center

- The McKale Memorial Center is an athletic arena at the University of Arizona in Tucson - Opened in 1973 - Capacity of 14,545 - Home to the Arizona Wildcats ("Cats") men's and women's basketball, gymnastics, and volleyball teams - The center is named after J.F. "Pop" McKale, a major athletic figure at the school from 1914 to 1957 Map
