Badger

A badger is a short-legged, burrowing omnivore in the family Mustelidae, which also includes weasels, ferrets, and otters. They are found on every continent except Australia and Antarctica and are known for their strong claws and their distinctive striped face. 🦡

Badgers have a stout, low-slung body with short, powerful legs and a pair of long, non-retractable claws that are used for digging. Their coat is typically a grayish-black color with a distinctive black and white striped face.

Badgers are found in a wide variety of habitats, including grasslands, woodlands, and forests. They are omnivores and their diet consists of a wide variety of foods, from earthworms and insects to fruits, nuts, and small animals.

Badgers are a nocturnal species that are most active at night. They are known for their burrowing habits, creating intricate underground tunnel systems called "setts" that they use to sleep and to raise their young. They are a very clean animal and are known to be a very shy and elusive species.
