Breeding
The White-lipped peccary can breed throughout the year depending on location. The breeding season is extremely variable and consists of two distinct peaks in areas such as Costa Rica one occurring in February and one in July. Mexico has distinct breeding seasons in April and November. The breeding season follows the fruiting season so the variability can be consistently different in each different region they are found. The young stay with the mother but are weaned by six months. Sexual maturity is reached between one and two years old
