Possible definitions for vaccary


baccarat
Card game resembling chemin de fer in which three hands of two or three cards each are dealt and players may bet either or both hands against the dealer's. In a two-handed version, players may bet on or against the dealer. Baccarat's popularity in France and England, and eventually in other countries, dates from the 19th cent. Players aim for a count of 9. Face (court) cards and 10s are counted as 0. The cards in each hand are added to obtain the value, but only the last digit is significant. Thus, in a hand of 6 and 7, the sum is 13, but only the 3 of that number counts. Though a glamorous game that attracts high rollers, baccarat is mostly a game of luck.


peccary
Any of three species (family Tayassuidae) of New World even-toed ungulates resembling pigs. Found in deserts and wet tropical forests from Texas to Patagonia, peccaries are gray with white markings and have small, erect ears and almost no tail. They grow to 30-35 in. (75-90 cm) long and weigh 30-65 lbs (15-30 kg). A scent gland that opens on the back and emits a strong, musky odor inspired the belief that peccaries have two navels. Peccaries have spearlike upper canines and eat plants, small animals, and carrion. They live in groups of five to 25 or 50-100, depending on the species.
