Clarence, that one is vertical. The discoloration is what we call "desert varnish". It's mainly iron and manganese oxidization. It takes thousands of years to form. Some petroglyphs in the area are so old the desert varnish has reformed in them making them hard to distinguish.

8week old (runt) female Red Fox kit. They were raised in a field drive culvert tube. She is 1 of a litter of 5. She was around 1/4 smaller than her litter mates. Some runts are born naturally. Other smaller pups, get less milk from litter mates forcing their will upon them.
I've observed quite a few Red Fox litters grow up. They all left their den sites around 11-12 weeks old. Yet I've read of an "expert" claim red fox kits do not leave their den site until around 6-7 months old. I find that claim very odd. Most kits I seen in 1 litter was 14. That female was old & she often had 11 kits.

Hard for me to believe that javelina and hogs are not related.
