no american badger? 😭
Don't worry, american badger is coming soon! it's just such a weirdo, everyone else is more closely related to each other, so it'll enter the tournament in the very last round.
The phylogeny is like this: {{[every other mustelid]; honey badger}; american badger}.
See the family tree from wikipedia:
(The american badger is Taxidea taxus, in the last row.)
Even the so far introduced badgers are more closely related to weasels, otters, martens ect than to the american badger!
