The name is also coati. It is quite like [yet at the same time] unlike, dissimilar to, the pig, and in size it does not equal the pig which comes from Castile. It is bristly, stiff-haired, of coarse bristles. Its bristles are like awls, rough, tough, sparse, strong, wiry, sinewy. This one is called “the cloven one.” Its food is acorns, American cherries, maize, roots, fruit, just like what a pig eats. Hence they call the peccary a pig. And hence is a pig called pitzotl, because when it eats it makes a smacking sound, as if it sucks.
