The Aztecs called it pisote, which means basically "glutton” and was often applied to the peccary or wild pig. “In regard to the peccary,” notes Sorenson, “the Nahuatl terms quauhcoyametl and quahpizotl were developed after the conquest to distinguish the native species from the introduced Castilian pig....”[1]
