I had never seen a badger before and this is the first I ever photographed!
He or she was not totally cooperative and left pretty quick, but I snapped a few photos!
Check out the claws on this guy or gal!

Excellent series of images. Don't tick off this critter as I hear they can be very aggressive.

They are such cool animals. The way they have decimated them in England is such a crime. If you have these guys around, you don't have to worry much about the rodent population! Besides, they are just beautiful. It's so good you had your chance to scratch that one off your list!

incredible serie! Do You know what food this creature likes to eat? Perhaps You should attract him/her with some "délicatesse" just to make it/her "coopérative" to a "photo session?Aug 9, 2022 20:22:48 #

You got some very good shots of this guy. I liked the very first picture, it is how we see a lot of forest critters.

Very good shots. I liked them all, especially the very first one. This is how we see many critters in the wild, showing as little of themselves as possible.

check youtube for videos of a badger and its playmate, a coyote, going through a culvert to get across a road. Adorable, but I wouldn't want to be close to either one. Love your photos!
This was in Yellowstone and in the same area a badger was seen working with a coyote hunting together. I know one person got both in a photo. I was green with jealousy as I was just down the road and missed it!

she/he needs their nails cut. great set. right place right time
There was a group of us taking photos, or waiting to take photos of a coyote den with pups. We were keeping an eye out for mom to return and I looked behind me and thought I saw mom running through the brush. I said mom is back, then realized it was a badger! You should have seen how fast everyone moved to get shots of it!

Back in the 1960's I had a friend/photographer who worked on a National Geographics trip to the Nile. Needless to say, the photos were breathtakingly beautiful. There was one in particular of a caravan of camels across the sand dunes with long cast shadows. I asked him, how could he possibly get that shot? His answer surprised me. He said, they knew the caravan route, so they camped out on the top of a dune for a week waiting for the shot and the right light. How few of us have that luxury of time and budget.

Good work. Badger hair is used for the bristles in the better men's shaving brushes.
