Description
August 2014 Black Rock Desert, Nevada: American badgers are generally nocturnal; however, in remote areas with no human encroachment they are routinely observed foraging during the day. Seasonally, a badger observed during daylight hours in the Spring months of late March to early May often represents a female foraging during daylight spend nights with her young. Badgers do not hibernate, but may become less active in winter. A badger may spend much of the winter in cycles of torpor that last around 29 hours. They do emerge from their burrows when the temperature is above freezing.

Hi Carl, gee so that's what a badger looks like.... nice and fluffy and will gnaw off your arm! I lived in WI and never saw one! Best regards, Sharon

They are not an easy find Sharon, this was a once in a lifetime moment for me I feel like because at this point this is the only badger I have seen myself.

I *think* this guy looks cute; certainly he needs a good manicurist. Great capture Carl. F
