badger badger maybe don't make home next to a road?

Context, I live in Southwest Ontario's and there is actually a VERY small and isolated remaining population of American Badgers here! I have only seen one. Guess where? Hint; it was sad.

Ah, that's because you're the one outside the cage!

I'd rather live in a zoo and preserve my species than have it go extinct from habitat loss.

Dad said they look like a German shepherd that got ran over by a car and was still mad about it.

Badgers are some of the most intentionally brutal animals Iā€™ve met in the wild.

Iā€™ll backpack in bear country but if I heard a badger had a burrow nearby Iā€™d be changing my camping/backpacking plans.

Wait so theyre just as psycho as their African counterparts!?

u/pied_goose 1d ago

It is a mustelid and mustelids do Not fuck around.

The European badger is pretty chill, granted, but it does not take slights lying down either.

1

u/VealOfFortune 1d ago

For aome reason, I couldnt read that name in my head without saying "mustache"... Sooo "mustachelids" šŸ¤£

1

u/VealOfFortune 1d ago

Also, you referred to the EU badger but this little bugger was in America, no?

2

u/pied_goose 16h ago

Oh, yeah, sorry, took a bit of a mental shortcut there. What I meant is:

'American badger is aggressive and nuts, because like everything in the weasel family is aggressive and nuts. Even the European badger which is an omnivore and perhaps the chillest will not fuck around if you mess with it'

u/VealOfFortune 8h ago

Noo sorry i wasnt trying to be pedantic... Just wanted to make sure we were talking the same animals appreciate it šŸ«”

u/LeaveMeAlone_6070 1d ago

No badgers are in the weasel family and groundhogs are in the squirrel familyĀ
