Argh, peccaries...

This morning I went out to check on some seeds I had put in the field a couple of days ago. These seeds were in a cage that allows only agoutis (not peccaries) to enter and get the seeds. Well, as I walked up to the cage it didn't look quite right...one of the poles was falling over...hey! The pigs had gotten in. They basically dug up one side and charged their way in. Oh yea, and they ate all the seeds -- bad! Those were for the agoutis. This is really a pain because now those data are worthless, I have to prepare more seeds, and fix the cage. Grrrr...I like peccaries, but sometimes they can really get on my nerves!
