While they are pigs, the AZ ones I've seen don't quite like that pig-ful.

Scary critters, can take your leg off if they get cornered.
Yep dont think I would want to corner one of those. Thanks for posting that if Im in Arizona and see one now I will know what it actually is. Im afraid its not what I saw on my ride though way too big. I did google the Marmot and it did look close except the thing I saw Im sure had no tail and from the looks of the photos on google a Marmot does.

Hmm the search for the critter continues.
