My mom brought a badger home. We kept calling it a skunk. 
It was an American badger.

What does a July morning look like for you? For the American badger depicted in the Museum’s Hall of North American Mammals, it’s spending some time finding breakfast: a Wyoming ground squirrel. The scene featured in today’s Exhibit of the Day takes place in Jackson Hole, Wyoming–and the badger has just spotted the fresh target at the entrance to its burrow. Badgers will dig furiously to excavate underground prey and their own dens. They can quickly tunnel themselves out of sight using powerful forelimbs and long claws. The Museum is open from Wednesday–Sunday, 10 am–5:30 pm. Plan your weekend trip! Photo: © AMNH

This badger partial will be available soon! Including the head (resin base, moving jaw), paws (using a pattern and claws by Foxfire Fantasy) and tail. The auction will start two days from now (on August 11th, 2023, 3pm PST) and will run for one week unless the partial is bought out before then. The buy-out price reflects what it would cost if it were commissioned, based on my current rates.
I'm really excited about this guy! Link below: https://www.thedealersden.com/listing/realistic-badger-partial/241081

Hello. A bit of a different request. But some time ago I saw a post with a European badger and an American badger side by side with some people getting confused with and questioning if the American badger was actually a wolverine. Is there anyway you could showcase the three of them together to compare them? The European badger, American badger and wolverine side by side?
ooo okay! i wish i could see the original post, both because i'm curious and also because i think i could answer better if i knew how the first discussion went, but i'll do my best!
firstly of course (although i'm not remotely qualified to answer on a detailed taxological level) they're all members of the family Mustelidae, but they're each in a different genus.
﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏
European badger
Tumblr media
in Europe!
Genus Meles
smaller build, distinctive facial markings
very adaptable and opportunistic omnivore, eating many things including plants/grains, fruits, insects, and smaller vertebrates.
live together in clans of 6 to 20
prefers deciduous and mixed woodlands
crepuscular/nocturnal
hibernates through winter
American badger
Tumblr media
in North America!
genus Taxidea
heavyset build, distinctive massive foreclaws
fossorial carnivore, eating other burrowing animals like snakes, mice, gophers, and ground dwelling birds
lives in solitude, except around breeding season
prefers prairies and open grasslands
generally nocturnal except females caring for young
less active but still emerges in winter
Wolverine
Tumblr media
found across most of the world in the Northern hemisphere
genus Gulo (only extant member)
dark, mostly solid color fur
primarily feeds by scavenging, but also capable of hunting for many types of small to medium animals.
also known to have taken down prey much larger than itself including deer, cow, and even lynx
lives in solitude
prefers isolated arctic boreal and alpine regions.
generally active day or night, with 3-4 hours of alternating sleep and activity.
does not hibernate
﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏
so yeah! there are lots more specifics about each of these three animals but that's some really basic stuff. they all have definite similarities, while also being demonstrably different in lots of ways.

finally got around to designing my fursona! Francis, a North American wolverine with some American badger influences (the long claws and round pupils, mainly)
