The Blog Name

In Quechua, the peccary in the cloud forest is called Sach'a Khuchi. Sach'a Khuchi has poor eyesight and recognizes family and friends based on their skunk like scent.  Sach'a Khuchi is a social animal, yet cannot be tamed and will warn strangers away by barking or "chuttering" (rubbing tusks together).

It is up to my readers to decide which of these characteristics we share.
