American Badger

Taxidea taxus

We had this badger cross the road right in front of us carrying something in its mouth. We couldn't tell if it was a rodent or if it may have been moving its young to a different burrow. Whatever it had been carrying was gone when it came back across the road and eventually disappeared from sight.

Cool find, Ann. It's always neat to see this in the wild.

Great catch Ann. I seldom see badgers, sometimes as a road kill, which is very sad to see.
